PoPRocks (formerly known as ‘WoPoP’) is an ongoing series in the NYC area for early career researchers – typically grad students and postdocs – working on philosophy of psychology/mind/perception/cognitive science/neuroscience/… . We usually meet roughly once every 2 weeks to informally discuss a draft paper by one of our members, but Spring 2018 we will be meeting less frequently. Typically presenters send a copy of their paper around 1 week in advance, so do join[...]

The Metasemantics of Indefinite Extensibility – Vera Flocke (NYU)

The Metasemantics of Indefinite Extensibility – Vera Flocke (NYU)
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3309
Mar 5 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Indefinite extensibility is the thesis that any domain of quantification can always be expanded. But how is the possibility of expanding domains of quantification reflected in the semantics of quantified sentences? This paper discusses the relevant meta-semantic options within a framework that distinguishes between semantic values and assertoric contents. This choice of a framework is independently motivated, helps received accounts of indefinite extensibility to escape weighty objections and adds to the available metasemantic options. I[...]

The Authority of Pleasure: A Neglected Alternative in Aesthetics – Keren Gorodeisky (Auburn Univ.)

The Authority of Pleasure: A Neglected Alternative in Aesthetics – Keren Gorodeisky (Auburn Univ.)
@ NYU Philosophy Dept. rm 202
Mar 9 @ 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm
Does art have anything interesting to do with pleasure? The aesthetic hedonist answers positively, claiming that the value of artworks qua artworks lie in their power to please those who are properly engaged with them. Recent critics of hedonism answer the question in the negative, arguing that the power to please cannot properly explain the value of artworks. In this paper, I point to a blind spot in the dialectic between the hedonic orthodoxy and its recent critics: though[...]

Confessing to a Superfluous Premise – Roy Sorensen (WUSTL)

Confessing to a Superfluous Premise – Roy Sorensen (WUSTL)
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3309
Mar 12 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
In a hurried letter to beleaguered brethren, Blaise Pascal (1658) confesses to a lapse of concision: “I have made this longer than usual because I have not had time to make it shorter.” Pascal’s confession was emulated with the same warmth as philosophers now emulate the apology introduced by D. C. Mackinson’s “The Preface Paradox”. Could Pascal’s confession of superfluity be sound? Pascal thinks his letter could be conservatively abridged; the shortened letter would be[...]

Admissibility of Multiple-Conclusion Rules of Logics with the Disjunction Property (Alex Citkin)

Admissibility of Multiple-Conclusion Rules of Logics with the Disjunction Property (Alex Citkin)
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3309
Mar 19 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
I study admissible multiple-conclusion rules of logics having the meta-disjunction expressible by a finite set of formulas. I show that in such logics the bases of admissible single- and multiple-conclusion rules can be converted into each other. Since these conversions are constructive and preserve cardinality, it is possible to obtain a simple way of constructing a base of admissible single-conclusion rules, by a given base of admissible multiple-conclusion rules and vice versa. Because the proofs[...]

Magical Art: The Power of Images in Hitchcock’s Vertigo

Magical Art: The Power of Images in Hitchcock’s Vertigo
@ Cornelia Street Cafe
Mar 19 @ 6:00 pm
Alfred Hitchcock’s Vertigo is a brilliant, suspenseful mystery exploring the often dangerous intimacy between love, compulsion, and death. It is also a profound meditation on the power of art. While it invites us to go on seeing art as a mimesis – a “representation,” or “imitation” of life – it also cryptically asks whether art objects might do more than merely represent life, even whether they might exercise power over death. James Stewart’s Scotty has[...]

Mathematical Truth is Historically Contingent – Chris Scambler (NYU)
@ CUNY Grad Center, rm 3309
Mar 26 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
In this talk I will defend a view according to which certain mathematical facts depend counterfactually on certain historical facts. Specifically, I will sketch an alternative possible history for us in which (I claim) the proposition ordinarily expressed by the English sentence “there is a universal set” is true, despite its falsity in the actual world.

Two CUNY Philosophy professors (Noël Carroll and Jesse Prinz) will present research alongside PhD student Zoe Cunliffe and alumna Laura Di Summa-Knoop in the upcoming Workshop on “Naturalized Aesthetics of Film”, taking place March 27th from 2-6pm in GC Room 5307. Additional presenters include Joerg Fingerhut (postdoc, Berlin School of Mind and Brain) and Murray Smith (University of Kent). The workshop celebrates Smith’s new monograph Film, Art, and the Third Culture, which defends an interdisciplinary approach[...]
