The Experiential Origins of Intentionality
Kriegel, Uriah
Presentation
2010-09-17T07:00:00Z
Experientialism
Intentionality
Philosophy
<p>Several recent authors - Loar, McGinn, Strawson, and Horgan, among others - have argued that the intentionality proper to conscious experience is somehow prior to, and grounds, other forms of intentionality. Here as elsewhere in philosophy, however, it is not always clear what is meant by "priority" and "grounding." Although the kind of priority these authors have in mind is distinctively metaphysical, in this paper I present a way of unpacking the priority of the intentionality proper to conscious experiences in epistemological terms.</p>

According to the classic view, one cannot be mistaken about whose body part it is when experiencing them on the basis of body senses. de Vignemont will consider two putative objections to this 'bodily immunity.'</p>

GMOs and Policy in a Complex, Diverse World
Mitchell, Sandra
Lecture

Biological diversity
Value pluralism
Genetically modified organism
GMO
Complexity
Life Sciences
Philosophy
<p>Sandra Mitchell's lecture considers how both biological diversity and value pluralism thwart simple regulatory models for genetically modified organisms. For example, we talk about policy for BT modified plants, yet there are about 600 known strains of Bacillus thuringiensis and the effect of different strains on different host plants as well as the consequences for pesticide reduction vary. Reasonable policy needs to take account of these complexities.</p>

<p>In this lecture, Katherine Brading considers such fundamental questions as "What is there?" and "How, if at all, can what there is undergo change?" She explores the relationships between matter, space, and time by means of an approach to physics that has its origins in Newton's engagement with Descartes' philosophy.</p>

How Many Philosophers Does it Take to Haul a Ship? Thoughts on the Philosophical Reception of Ancient Greek Mechanics
Berryman, Sylvia
Lecture
2012-02-17T08:00:00Z
Ancient Greek Mechanics
Philosophy
Philosophy
Physical Sciences and Mathematics
<p>Sylvia Berryman's talk will focus on ancient Greek mechanics, which were so crucial to the emergence of the 'mechanical world picture' and the New Science in the seventeenth century. These same mechanics also provoked philosophical responses from the philosophers of late antiquity. By observing responses to Aristotle's 'ship hauler' problem, Berryman will reveal a new picture of the reception of mechanics in ancient Greek natural philosophy.</p>

Cartwright, Nancy
Lecture

Effectiveness predictions
Randomized controlled trial
Bioethics and Medical Ethics
<p>Nancy Cartwright will focus on effectiveness predictions for illustration. Effectiveness predictions are predictions that well-defined policies will produce targeted outcomes in the present, as soon as they are implemented. Randomized controlled trials are touted as a gold standard for effective prediction claims -- but there is a catch, which Cartwright will address in this lecture.</p>

Social science
Social policy
Bioethics and Medical Ethics
<p>This lecture will consider the rhetoric of blame and accountability with regards to social issues such as protection of children from domestic abuse. Amidst calls for best practice, and the insistence on implementing only policies that work, Cartwright questions whether policies that 'work' will work for us, and whether attendant problems, such as program failures, could result.</p>
