AUTUMN 2015 Lectures Series (No.7): 外在世界的懷疑論——替Dretske的理論作出形式化的辯護 (In Defense of Dretske against Holliday's Formalization)

Date & Time: Friday, 18 Dec., 3:30-5:30 p.m.
Venue: Rm 202, Centre for Humanities and Social Sciences Education, NYMU

About the theme

為了要反駁懷疑論,Dretske建議我們反對懷疑論論證中的一個重要成分:認知封閉性原則。 Dretske同時認為,他的相關選項理論能夠證明認知運算元只是半穿透的運算元,而非全穿透的運算元。但Holliday採取了Heller的建議而對Dretske的相關選擇理論作出了形式化的工作。Holliday認為,他的形式化結果證明:Dretske的認知運算元其實不是半穿透的運算元。我在本次演講中將論證:Holliday的形式化工作並不忠於Dretske的相關選項理論。我將建議另一種新而忠實地形式化Dretske理論的方法,並證明:在我的形式化方法中,認知運算元的確如Dretske所認為的是個半穿透的運算元。我在這次報告中還將比較Dretske的理論與Heller為了解決懷疑論而提出的類似想法。

AUTUMN 2015 Lectures Series (No.5): Computational cognitive neuroscience: From neurons to behavior

Date & Time: Friday, 27 Nov., 3:30-5:30 p.m.
Venue: Rm 202, Centre for Humanities and Social Sciences Education, NYMU

About the theme

How does the brain control behavior? What do neural circuits compute? The field of cognitive neuroscience is thriving thanks to advances in neuroanatomy, neurophysiology, neuroimaging, and cognitive psychology. Given the rich set of empirical observations aggregated from these fields, an emerging challenge is to provide a unified theory that relates different levels of analysis, explaining how neural systems in the brain give rise to intelligent human behavior. Computational cognitive neuroscience addresses the above questions by studying neural representations and mechanisms from a theoretical perspective. It can offer new insights beyond brain-behavior correlations. One example is the application of machine learning/pattern recognition techniques to brain data for understanding neural representations and for developing brain-computer interfaces. Another example is the class of neural models that construct system-level architectures from the first principles, such as local computation and competitive normalization. These computational models can quantitatively simulate cognitive functions using plausible neural mechanisms and explain seemingly conflicting data in a coherent framework. In this presentation, differences among computational approaches in (cognitive) neuroscience will be contrasted. The past, present, and future of computational cognitive neuroscience will also be discussed.

ABSTRACTS:

Title: A Sense of Body Ownership

Hong Yu Wong

Abstract: Our bodies and our sense of embodiment are critical to our sense of ourselves as material beings (Cassam 1997, Longuenesse 2006). One prominent strand of research on embodiment concerns the sense of ownership that we have over our bodies. The key questions are how to understand this sense of ownership, and what its function is. I begin by characterising the sense of body ownership and its relation to basic forms of bodily awareness, such as proprioception (Martin 1995, de Vignemont 2007, Peacocke 2014). A major issue is the shape of a constitutive account and its status with respect to pathologies where it is compromised, such as somatoparaphrenia and alien limb syndrome (Vallar and Ronchi 2009, de Vignemont 2007 and 2011). A second question is the function of the sense of body ownership. I will focus on how the sense of body ownership affects agency and the sense of agency – in health and in pathologies such as anosognosia for hemiplegia (Berti et al. 2005, Baier and Karnath 2008, Tsakiris and Fotopoulou 2013). In this talk, I will sketch an account of body ownership that diverges from the three major accounts and discuss its significance for action and sense of agency.



Title: Me or not me? The fundamental difference between the self and the other

Krisztina Orbán

Abstract: I will argue that there are four features of the first person phenomenon which has to be accounted for in the fundamental understanding of ‘I’. The first will be the radical asymmetry between the first person perspective and third person perspective or other perspectives (2nd person). This idea has its roots in Perry’s notion of cognitive significance. The second will be privacy which can be found in Frege, Shoemaker, Evans and Recanati, but I will introduce a new version of this criterion. I will try to find what unifies any sensory experience, including experiences involving virtual reality. My notion of experience will be neutral on whether it is a perceptual experience, experience in a virtual reality set up, or another kind of experience. However, I will distinguish between internal (e.g. proprioception) and external (e.g. vision, audition, touch) experience. I will point out an asymmetry in internal and external experience in order to understand privacy. I will provide some reasons to believe that the reference fixing rule for ‘I’ cannot render any of these necessary features contingent. In light of this, I will criticize existing views on what fixes the referent of ‘I’. I will discuss the token reflexive rule for ‘I’, the fundamental reference rule for ‘I’, the demonstrative model for ‘I’ and subjectless views of ‘I’. I will show that none of them is able to account for all the necessary features of ‘I’.

臨時演講通知: If truth is One, logic is One: on moderate pluralism about truth and logic

Date & Time: Friday, 25 Sep., 2:30-3:30 p.m.
Venue: Rm 211, Institute of Philosophy of Mind and Cognition, Yang Ming

About the theme

  According to moderate truth pluralism, truth is both One and Many. Truth is One because there is a single truth property—truth-as-such—that applies across all truth-apt domains of discourse. Truth is Many because this truth property may be grounded in different ways. Propositions concerning medium-sized dry goods might be true in virtue of corresponding with reality while propositions pertaining to the law might be true in virtue of cohering with the body of law. In recent work Michael Lynch has suggested that a commitment to moderate truth pluralism supports logical pluralism, understood as the thesis that there are several equally legitimate notions of validity. The path from truth to logical pluralism is meant to go through Generalized Tarski’s Thesis (in the terminology of Beall and Restall (2006)): an argument is valid-X if and only if, in every case-X in which the premises are true, the conclusion is true. Since different properties ground truth in different domains and go with different types of case, different domains go with different kinds of validity. In this paper I critically examine Lynch’s argument. I suggest that Lynch fails to distinguish between rules of reasoning for truth-as-such and rules of reasoning for properties that ground truth-as-such. Taking on board this distinction I argue that there is no path from moderate alethic pluralism to logical pluralism via Generalized Tarski’s Thesis. I then go on to investigate whether there is any sense in which moderate truth pluralists can be pluralists about logic.

AUTUMN 2015 Lectures Series (No.1): Early Detection of Dementia: a Neuropsychological Perspective 從臨床神經心理學的角度來研究失智症早期偵測

Date & Time: Friday, 25 Sep., 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Venue: Rm 202, Centre for Humanities and Social Sciences Education, NYMU

About the theme

  Efficient and accurate prediction of dementia such as Alzheimer’s disease in the preclinical stage is important for individual, family, social and medical reasons. In this talk, I will discuss some of the issues related to neuropsychological measurement as a key to the valid and reliable identification of persons who are at risk of developing dementia. I will also illustrate that when such efforts to more comprehensively assess neuropsychological functions are undertaken, better characterizations of spared and impaired cognitive and functional abilities result, and lead to more convincing associations with other biomarkers as well as to clinical outcomes.

SPRING 2015 Lectures Series (No.6): 人同此心,心同此理?以莊子與荀子的心智觀為例


Date & Time: Friday, 22 May., 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Venue: Rm 202, Centre for Humanities and Social Sciences Education, NYMU

About the theme

  眾所周知,「人同此心,心同此理」這一句話標誌著中國儒學(尤其是宋明心學)的思想高峰,而它如此明快,如此簡約而扼要地將「心」與「理」這兩個概念予以綰給,予以密合,而將其放入具有強烈「同一性」意涵的命題之中,其實已然可以窺知中國古代心智觀某些面向的意理信息。
  而若吾人將「心同理同」此一命題上推於哲學理想的高層,並使其發顯其中難以實證實驗的意義效力,則吾人恐將可能落入中國傳統心智觀某些既定或特定的意識框架之間。由此看來,努力回返心智活動之真實歷程,而後持續地細細琢磨「心」與「理」二概念,以及其間之意理聯結,則吾人便可能有機會回到古中國心智觀內在而真實的脈絡。因此,本篇擇定先秦儒家與先秦道家兩個代表人物──荀子與莊子對心智活動所提出的哲學觀點,進而在認識主體(心)與認識範疇(理)之間,進行具認識論意趣的概念解析與系統重構。如此一來,吾人也便可以進一步對漢唐以迄宋明,一逕推擴開來的某些哲學命題,所以一直在形上學、宇宙觀、認識論與倫理實踐之學之間來回推移的緣由有所認知,有所理解,有所洞察。

SPRING 2015 Lectures Series (No.5): The Objectivity of Content from the Neuroscientific Point of View


Date & Time: Friday, 17 Apr., 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Venue: Rm 202, Centre for Humanities and Social Sciences Education, NYMU

About the theme

The issue concerning the objectivity of content is central to philosophy. Burge (2010) has recently tried to ground the objectivity of content on an anti-individualistic conception of perceptual content. In this talk, I shall raise some worries and inadequacies about his psychology-based approach, and propose some ways to strengthen it with a focus on the neuroscientific study of consciousness and intentionality such as one undertaken by Northoff (2014a, b).

SPRING 2015 Lectures Series (No.4): Memory Enhancement: A phenomenological


Date & Time: Friday, 10 Apr., 3:30-5:30 p.m.
Venue: Rm 202, Centre for Humanities and Social Sciences Education, NYMU

About the theme

The growing understanding of human mind and cognition and the development of neurotechnology have triggered the debate of cognitive enhancement in neuroethics. The talk aims to examine the normative issues of memory enhancement, and focuses on the issue of the distinction of memory treatment and enhancement. I argue that memory enhancement is distinguished from memory treatment by the demarcation of the existence of memory-related suffering. That is, memory enhancements are, under standard circumstances and without any unwilling suffering or potential suffering resulting from the alteration of memory functions, interventions that aim to manipulate memory functions based on the self-interests of the individual.
