心哲所2013秋季系列演講(No.8):知覺與自我意識-由佛教知識論的觀點出發



關於主題

佛教哲學如何探討認知(cognition)?於認知過程中,認知對象與認知之間、感官識與意識之間的關係為何?以及認知對象、感官識、意識認知與其他心靈現象等,在認知過程中有著怎麼樣的先後關係?認知是否必然蘊含自我意識(self-awareness)?本演講將盡可能闡釋佛教哲學不同部派(說一起有部、經量部)與陳那(दिन्नाग, Dignāga)關於以上課題的主張及彼此間的辯論與繼承,期待能藉此與當代哲學作出有意義的對比。

心哲所2013秋季系列演講(No.7):自殺的原因和預防



關於主題

為什麼有人要自殺?自殺可以預防嗎?
關於自殺,大家通常會有三大迷思:
1. 自殺是遭遇重大挫折的人,一時想不開而走上自我毀滅之路。失戀、失業、久病厭世、考試失敗......就會讓一個人自殺。
2. 自殺未遂的人只要加以開導,就不會再輕生。
3. 決心要輕生的人不會透露給別人知道,所以防不勝防。
是否真是如此?且讓我們一起來探討!

GSAPMC 2013 Autumn Lecture Series (No.6): Consciousness, Reflexivity, and Disorders of Consciousness



About the theme
          
       When I taste a glass of wine, there is a sense in which the phenomenal character of the taste of the wine is for me, rather than for you. This for-me-ness can be construed as the relation between some phenomenal character and the subject of consciousness. Moreover, the “me” in for-me-ness refers to the subject of consciousness, whatever it turns out to be. Several philosophers argue that for-me-ness is constitutive of the phenomenological structure of consciousness, i.e., to explain the phenomenological structure of consciousness, one must at least appeal to for-me-ness.
      Among those who defend the above position, one prominent group of philosophers defends Higher-Order Thought (HOT) theories of consciousness, including David Rosenthal and Peter Carruthers who employ different notions of HOT to explain for-me-ness. Arguably, both of them commit to the claim that for-me-ness realizes the interpretation function when it comes to constituting the phenomenological structure of consciousness in contrast to the speaker's proposal—Perspectival-Reflexive Representationalism.
