Bilattices and Strict Tolerant Logics (Melvin Fitting)
4:15 pm
Bilattices and Strict Tolerant Logics (Melvin Fitting)
@ CUNY Grad Center, 7314
Feb 4 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Strict/tolerant logic is a formally defined logic that has the same consequence relation as classical logic, though it differs from classical logic at the metaconsequence level. Specifically, it does not satisfy a cut rule. It has been recommended for use in work on theories of truth because it avoids some objectionable features arising from the use of classical logic. Here we are not interested in applications, but in the formal details themselves. We show that[...]

The Extended Self: Autonomy and Technology in the Age of Distributed Cognition, Ethan Hallerman (Stony Brook)
7:30 pm
The Extended Self: Autonomy and Technology in the Age of Distributed Cognition, Ethan Hallerman (Stony Brook)
@ Brooklyn Public Library
Feb 6 @ 7:30 pm
In Philosophy in the Library, philosophers from around the world tackle the big questions. In February, we hear from Ethan Hallerman. None of us today can avoid reflecting on the way our thoughts and habits relate to the tools we use, but interest in how technologies reshape us is both older and broader than contemporary concerns around privacy, distraction, addiction, and isolation. For the past hundred years, scholars have investigated the historical role of everyday[...]

Stages in Spacetime: The Languages of Persistence

Stages in Spacetime: The Languages of Persistence
@ CUNY Grad Center, 7314
Feb 11 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Motivated by considerations from relativity theory, philosophers have recently contended that talk about an object’s existence in time should not be taken as fundamental, but rather analysed in the language of a formal theory of location in spacetime. This suggestion has important consequences for the debate about persistence: how do ordinary objects exist at different times? It has triggered a program of recovery whereby the main views from the classical debate, previously expressed using the language of[...]

Identity, Indeterminacy, and Supervaluationism- Achille Varzi (Columbia)

Identity, Indeterminacy, and Supervaluationism- Achille Varzi (Columbia)
@ CUNY Grad Center, 7314
Feb 25 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
I am a friend of supervaluationism. A statement lacks a determinate truth value if, and only if, it comes out true on some admissible precisifications of the relevant vocabulary and false on others. In this talk I want to focus on the special cases of identity statements. There is, I think, a potentially devastating objection that can be raised against the supervaluationist treatment of such statements—in fact two objections. Luckily, both can be resisted. But[...]

Bryce Huebner: “Meditating and hallucinating: A socially situated and neuro-Yogācarin perspective”
@ Wolff Conference Room, D1103
Feb 28 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
A number of philosophers working on Buddhist traditions have recently explored similarities between the cultivated experience of not-self, and the clinical experience of depersonalization. In this talk, I will offer some reflections on this theme. But my primary aim will be to push a similar kind of exploratory project one step further. Drawing on tools from cognitive and computational neuroscience, as well as insights from Yogācāra Buddhist philosophy, I will explore some of the most[...]
