In this paper, I explore the role that metaphor plays in the development of new scientific models. My goal is to illustrate metaphor’s fecundity in this regard, the way in which it extends our understanding in surprisingly diverse ways. As Mary Hesse put this point, “it is precisely in its extension that the fruitfulness of the model may lie” (1980, 114).   The particular focus of my paper is on the history of what John[...]

Mind-Dependent Artifacts: Artifact-Dependent Minds
Mind-Dependent Artifacts: Artifact-Dependent Minds @ Starr Foundation Hall (UL102)
Sep 11 – Sep 15 all-day
Tickets
Join us for a series of keynote presentations as part of the 2023 Institute for Philosophy and New Humanities: Mind-Dependent Artifacts: Artifact-Dependent Minds. Artifacts are a primary object of study in the humanities. They are products and, thus, manifestations of human thought, action, and self-determination without which they cannot be understood. At the same time, human mindedness depends on artifacts, and as well as other objects – a dependence that is manifest in the form[...]

Whilst spatial experience has long been a central question of Architecture, Virtual Reality is only beginning to grapple with these questions, as[...]

Nature’s Vicissitudes: Richard J. Bernstein’s final pragmatic naturalism
Nature’s Vicissitudes: Richard J. Bernstein’s final pragmatic naturalism @ Fordham University at Lincoln Center
Sep 29 – Sep 30 all-day
Tickets
Richard J. Bernstein first encountered John Dewey’s pragmatist naturalism as a graduate student at Yale University, where  “Dewey’s naturalistic vision of the relation of experience and nature—how human beings as natural creatures are related to the rest of nature—spoke deeply to me.” This early enthusiasm for Dewey’s naturalistic vision never left him. During the final years of his long life, Bernstein finished two books that return to issues of pragmatist naturalism. ·       His Pragmatic Naturalism: John Dewey’s Living[...]
