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.
