Titlul prezentării sale este: ‘Stand-for Relations in Human Communication: Architecture & Evidence’. Iată și rezumatul:

‘Visual object symbols are widely used in human communication to convey information about discourse referents—the set of individuals currently under discussion. I will introduce a simple computational arhitecture to account for the psychological capacity to set up these relations in communication. The architecture consists of two layers of mental representations (one for the object symbols, and one for the discourse referents) and of two functions operating over them: (i) assignment, which establishes local links between objects and discourse referents; and (ii) labeling, which generates conceptual descriptions that attach to the discourse referents. I will then draw on young children’s pretend play to show that the capacity to interpret and exploit relations between objects and discourse referents develops early and reliably in human ontogeny. Finally, I will present a set of experiments from our lab providing evidence that human adults represent images as discourse-bound symbols and that they automatically compute what an image stands for in the current communicative context.’

Seminar cercetare DFT ‘Not Being Sure of Myself’

Următoarea conferință din cadrul seminarului de cercetare al Departamentului de Filosofie Teoretică în parteneriat cu CELFIS va fi susținută de dr. Derek Lam (University of Wisconsin-Whitewater).

 Titlul prezentării sale este: ‘Not Being Sure of Myself’. Iată și rezumatul:

 ‘It’s intuitive to think that an intentional action requires that the agent knows that she’s doing so. In light of some apparent counterexamples, Setiya suggests that this intuitive insight is better captured in terms of credence: performing an intentional action requires the agent to have a higher credence that she’s doing so than she would be otherwise. I argue that there is no such thing as an agent’s credence for what she’s doing. After distinguishing this thesis from an idea some defend under the slogan “deliberation crowds out prediction”, I explore the thesis’s epistemological implications for the belief-credence relation in the context of an agent’s self-knowledge.’

Seminar cercetare DFT ‘Perspectival Instruments’

Următoarea conferință din cadrul seminarului de cercetare al Departamentului de Filosofie Teoretică în parteneriat cu CELFIS va fi susținută de Ana-Maria Creţu (University of Bristol). Mai multe detalii despre dr. Creţu sunt accesibile aici: https://sites.google.com/view/anamariacretu/home

Titlul prezentării sale este: ‘Perspectival Instruments’. Iată și rezumatul:

„Despite its potential implications for the objectivity of scientific knowledge, the claim that ‘scientific instruments are perspectival’ has received little critical attention. I show that this claim is best understood as highlighting the dependence of instruments on different perspectives. When closely analysed, instead of constituting a novel epistemic challenge, this dependence can be exploited to mount novel strategies for resolving two old epistemic problems: conceptual relativism and theory ladeness. The novel content of this paper consists in articulating and developing these strategies by introducing two fine-grained notions of perspectives as the key units of analysis: ‘broad perspectives’ and ‘narrow perspectives’.”

Seminar cercetare DFT ‘Is Dialetheism the only way out for Deflationism?’

de | iun. 14, 2021 | Actualitate, Anunturi, Avizier studenti, Seminar cercetare DFT

Următoarea conferință din cadrul seminarului de cercetare al Departamentului de Filosofie Teoretică în parteneriat cu CELFIS va fi susținută de dr. Paula Tomi (Universitatea București & Universitatea Politehnică București)..
Titlul prezentării sale este: ‘Is Dialetheism the only way out for Deflationism?’. Iată și rezumatul:

‘Deflationary theories of truth had two different responses to the Liar. A first class of deflationists considers that this paradox does not represent a problem for their theories (Grover, Gupta). On the other hand, other deflationists, among who is the minimalist approach (Horwich), find the Liar to be a serious issue. Because of this, Horwich excludes the paradoxical instantiations of the T-schema from his theory. His solution faces some serious criticism. The main problem seems to be that he limits the generalization of the T-schema and this generalization is the main reason why truth is not redundant and has a function. Following this line of criticism Beall and Armour-Garb argued that a deflationist should also be a dialetheist. The aim of this presentation is to critically present Beall and Armour-Garb’s solution and try to provide an answer to the question mentioned in the title: is dialetheism the only solution for a minimalist?’

Seminar cercetare DFT ‘Intellectual virtues and the epistemology of modality’

de | mai 28, 2021 | Actualitate, Anunturi, Avizier studenti, Seminar cercetare DFT

Următoarea conferință din cadrul seminarului de cercetare al Departamentului de Filosofie Teoretică în parteneriat cu CELFIS va fi susținută de dr. Alexandru Dragomir (Universitatea din București).
Titlul prezentării sale este: ‘Intellectual virtues and the epistemology of modality’. Iată și rezumatul:

‘Virtue epistemologists have changed the typical analysis of the concept of knowledge: instead of defining it in terms of various properties of belief, they have defined it in terms of certain properties of the epistemic subject, i.e. its intellectual virtues. Two major varieties of virtue epistemology have emerged in the literature: the reliabilist variety, which identifies intellectual virtues with those faculties that reliably guide the epistemic subject to form true beliefs (vision, memory, deductive reasoning etc.), and the responsibilist variety, which identifies virtues with intellectual character traits like open-mindedness, thoroughness, perseverance, courage etc.

The purpose of my presentation is to tackle the problem of what justifies our beliefs about modalities and how we gain knowledge of what is possible/necessary, from a virtue-theoretic perspective. I will argue that both kinds of intellectual virtues, i.e. faculty-virtues and character-virtues, play an essential role in explaining modal knowledge and justifying modal beliefs.’

Seminar cercetare DFT ‘A multiset interpretation of non-eliminative structuralism’

de | mai 20, 2021 | Actualitate, Anunturi, Avizier studenti, Seminar cercetare DFT

Următoarea conferință din cadrul seminarului de cercetare al Departamentului de Filosofie Teoretică în parteneriat cu CELFIS va fi susținută de dr. Adrian Ludușan (Universitatea Babeș Bolyai).

Titlul prezentării sale este: ‘A multiset interpretation of non-eliminative structuralism’. Iată și rezumatul:

‘The focus of this presentation is a particular version of structuralism in the philosophy of mathematics, known as non-eliminative structuralism. A number of objections (Assadian 2018, Leitgeb 2020b) have been raised with regard to certain tenets that appear to characterize non-eliminative structuralism, of which I will concentrate primarily on the permutation/automorphism objection. In light of these objections, two lines of responses have been articulated on behalf of non-eliminative structuralism, one based on a new axiomatic approach to unlabeled graph theory (UGT) due to (Leitgeb 2020a, 2020b), the other based on neo-Fregean flavored abstraction principles, first developed by (Linnebo & Pettigrew, 2014), and further refined by (Schiemer & Wigglesworth, 2019). After assessing how these specific proposals address the permutation/automorphism test, I will develop a new approach, based on multiset theory, and argue that it passes the permutation/automorphism test in agreement to standard mathematical practice in areas such as probability and combinatorics, and that it is compatible with Leitgeb, Linnebo & Pettigrew, Schiemer & Wigglesworth’s proposals.’
