Everyone has a view on crime, retribution and punishment. In this free public event our expert panellists will focus on remorse. What is remorse? How do we know when someone is remorseful? When should remorse for a criminal act be taken into account in sentencing? Should victims forgive a remorseful offender? And what if we could induce remorse in criminals through pharmaceutical means or other interventions in the brain. Should we? Would it be (or could it become) genuine remorse? Join us for this important discussion hosted by Macquarie University Faculty of Arts and the Macquarie Research Centre for Agency Values and Ethics (CAVE). Crime, Remorse, and Punishment is the opening event of the 2018 Neuroscience and Society Conference https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/fFR1CyoNVrcXNj2gIZk6cM?domain=neuroethicsconference.org.au which will explore the ethical, clinical, legal, and social implications of a variety of moral technologies that target the brain and influence thought and behaviour in multiple ways. The event is free but please register here for catering purposes: RSVP: Register online Panellists: Dr Kate Rossmanith ? Kate is Senior Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at Macquarie University. Her background is in Performance Studies, which combines theatre and anthropology, and investigates how we perform ourselves in everyday life. This has laid the grounding for her research that examines people's enactments in the courtroom, in particular enactments of remorse. Kate is the author of the recently released book Small Wrongs: How we really say sorry in love, life and law. (Hardie Grant) Hugh Dillon- Hugh was a Magistrate in the New South Wales Local Court for many years. He subsequently served as Deputy State Coroner for New South Wales and has also worked as a prosecutor and a barrister. Hugh has seen remorse from all sides of the criminal justice system and we are delighted that he will share his insights with us. Dr Hannah Maslen ? Hannah is Deputy Director of the Uehiro Centre for Practical Ethics, University of Oxford. She works in the new field of neuroethics, which investigates the ethical dilemmas generated by our increasing power to read and intervene in the brain. She also has a strong interest in the philosophy of punishment and has recently combined these interests in her paper: ?Drugs that make you feel bad? Remorse based mitigations and neurointerventions?

Blackshield Message-ID: *Types of logic and their application for the studies of biological and social evolution* *Anton Sukhoverkhov* When: Tues Aug 21, 1-2 pm Where: Blackshield Room Abstract: This talk presents and compares four types of logic: formal, dialectic, fuzzy and ?Eastern? non-duality logic. Their application for current debates in studies of evolution is considered. Classical logical paradoxes (Ship of Theseus, Liar's Paradox, Sorites Paradox) are also revised and re-exemplified in the light of the evolutionary and social studies. The talk also considers the problem of fuzzy sets and the possibility to apply different types of logic for decision-making and in nature and society.

Starting from the idea that one of the main functions of mathematical proofs is to explain and persuade an interlocutor, I develop an account of the beauty (or ugliness) of mathematical proofs that seems to allow for a reconciliation of these apparently opposed accounts of aesthetic judgments in mathematics. I do so by discussing the role of affective responses and emotions in the practice of mathematical proofs, thus arguing that the aesthetic and the epistemic are intrinsically related (while not entirely coinciding) in mathematical proofs.

Speaker: Assoc. Prof. Sarah Sorial (Macquarie), Abstract: Discussions of rights to free speech tend to be concerned with three issues: (1) if speakers have the right to say what they want, (2) whether this includes the right to vilify or denigrate others, and (3) if governments can censor some kinds of speech. There is, however, surprisingly little discussion in both public discourse and theoretical debates on free speech about the duties or responsibilities that speakers have in exercising the right to free speech with respect to other speakers. In this talk the suggestion will be made that there are duties that obligate speakers with an explanation of what those duties are.

According to my reading of Hume, we cannot read the Treatise as expressing a single, consistent position from beginning to end. Rather, Hume experiences a sceptical crisis in the text and he decides to alter his attitudes towards the justification of his beliefs ? becoming a moderate sceptic ? as a result of this. The textual upshot of this is that we have a nice explanation of why Hume seems so sanguine about philosophy (and human reasoning in general) in some parts of his texts, but seems so deeply sceptical in other parts. However, one might resist the benefits of such an explanation in different ways: maybe it is not so simple to claim that Hume becomes a sceptic after his crisis, since that crisis appears at the end of Book One, but Books Two and Three are most certainly not sceptical texts. Another worry is that the residually sceptical reading leaves Hume in an unstable philosophical position: it doesn?t seem obvious how an extreme sceptical crisis can lead to moderate scepticism. I defend my view in light of these problems and in doing so I explain what difference it makes to our understanding of the history of philosophy.
