Cynthia Bennett – Disability Accessibility and Fairness in Artificial Intelligence 1:00 pm
Cynthia Bennett – Disability Accessibility and Fairness in Artificial Intelligence @ Presbyterian Hospital Building (Room PH20-200)
Feb 6 @ 1:00 pm – 2:00 pm
Artificial intelligence (AI) promises to automate and scale solutions to perennial accessibility challenges (e.g., generating image descriptions for blind users). However, research shows that AI-bias disproportionately impacts people already marginalized based on their race, gender, or disabilities, raising questions about potential impacts in addition to AI’s promise. In this talk, Cynthia Bennett will overview broad concerns at the intersection of AI, disability, and accessibility. She will then share details about one project in this research[...]

Tolstoy as Philosopher: Reflections during the Darkest of Times @ Wolff Conference Room/D1103
Feb 9 @ 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
In better times, this talk may have been given as a detailed account of the practices and side stories that had been part of the just published anthology titled Tolstoy as Philosopher (2022), a result of a quarter-century work on Tolstoy’s manuscripts and research at international archives. The finished book can be abstracted as follows. Beginning with Tolstoy’s first extant records of his written œuvre, the anthology assembles seventy-seven unabridged texts that cover more than seven decades of[...]

Naturally Universal: How Aristotle Explains the Success of Medieval French Song. Sarah Kay 6:30 pm
Naturally Universal: How Aristotle Explains the Success of Medieval French Song. Sarah Kay @ Maison Française East Gallery
Feb 13 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm
Poets and singers in a number of medieval vernacular languages reached non-native audiences and inspired speakers of other languages to compose in theirs; and many imagined their compositions enjoying a universality similar to that of cosmopolitan languages like Latin and Arabic. An interesting rationalization of these aspirations can be discerned in a short verse narrative of a well-known episode in the youth of Alexander the Great, conqueror of India, together with his tutor, the philosopher[...]

Cultivating the Mind: Reason and the Pursuit of Ethical Transformation @ New York Academy of Medicine
Feb 15 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Rationality, long considered a distinctive characteristic of the human mind, provides us with the capacity for understanding and discernment, as well as the ability to introduce order into our thoughts by allowing us to form higher-order volitions, adopt values, establish priorities, and achieve a level of consistency in our actions across time. The ancient Socratic ideal of the “examined life” in pursuit of truth and justice relied on a definition of human nature that was[...]

The Reflexivity of Consciousness in Kant, Fichte and Beyond. Katharina Kraus (Johns Hopkins) 3:30 pm
The Reflexivity of Consciousness in Kant, Fichte and Beyond. Katharina Kraus (Johns Hopkins) @ NYU Philosophy Dept.
Feb 17 @ 3:30 pm – 5:30 pm
This talk explores the reflexive nature of consciousness, which consists primarily in the fact that a state of consciousness has a reflexive relation to the subject who has that state, so that the subject can typically be aware of itself as having that state. Comparing Kant’s, Fichte’s, and selected contemporary analytic theories of this reflexivity shows that there is a crucial difference in the way the relation between form (or mode) and content of a[...]

Neopragmatism and logic: A deflationary proposal. Lionel Shapiro (UConn) 4:15 pm
Neopragmatism and logic: A deflationary proposal. Lionel Shapiro (UConn) @ CUNY Grad Center 9205
Feb 27 @ 4:15 pm – 6:15 pm
Neopragmatists seek to sidestep metaphysical puzzles by shifting the target of philosophical explanation from the objects we think and talk about to the functions of expressions and concepts in our cognitive economy. Logical vocabulary can serve as a target for neopragmatist inquiry, and it has also posed obstacles to neopragmatist accounts of other vocabulary. I will argue that the obstacles can be addressed by adopting a neopragmatist perspective toward logical relations, such as logical consequence,[...]
