Details of the Next ?Inner West Council Philosophy Talk"

Title: ?Love, Freedom, and Elena Ferrante?

Speaker:  Dr Sam Shpall (Philosophy, U Sydney)

Abstract:
The intense readability and popularity of Elena Ferrante's Neapolitan Quartet, and the mystery surrounding its author, can distract us from the work?s heavyweight intellectual achievements. In this talk, Sam Shpall situates this work by discussing some themes in the history of philosophical thinking about love, friendship, and women's freedom, themes that he argues are interestingly framed and critiqued in the Neapolitan Quartet. He also presents some controversial ideas from landmark works of Italian feminism that appear to be important to the author, and that are still relatively unknown in the Anglophone world.

Hi all,

The Macquarie University Research Centre for Agency, Values, and Ethics (CAVE) will host a one-day workshop on "Culture and Cognition" on Friday, 25 October 2019 at Dunmore Lang College Seminar Room, Macquarie University.

Building on the success of the first CAVE Culture and Cognition Workshop held in 2018<https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/31OgCjZrzqHrqJ1XSW30Oi?domain=cultureandcognitionreadinggroup.wordpress.com>, this event is aimed at further fostering interdisciplinary dialogue between members of the cognitive sciences and humanities scholars who are interested in the topic of ?Culture and Cognition?. The workshop will provide a forum for presentations from different disciplinary backgrounds, from departments across Macquarie University and the wider academic community, to showcase research that speaks to the connections between culture and cognition. This is further aimed at promoting the ongoing work of the CAVE Culture and Cognition Reading Group, and providing an opportunity for HDR students and ECRs working in this area to network with people from beyond their traditional disciplines.

Speakers:

  *   Prof. Paul Griffiths (School of History & Philosophy of Science, University of Sydney): "What is Essentialism?"
  *   Dr Glenda Satne (School of Humanities and Social Inquiry, University of Wollongong): "Varieties of Shared Intentionality: from the Genus to the Species and Back"
  *   Dr Michael Gillings (Department of Biological Sciences, Macquarie University): "Go with your Gut: How our microbiota might affect cognition"
  *   Dr Robert Ross (Department of Philosophy, Macquarie University): "Belief in a 'Post-Truth' era"
  *   Dr Katsunori Miyahara (School of Humanities and Social Inquiry, University of Wollongong): "On the cultural embeddedness of pain"
  *   Sara Kim Hjortborg (Department of Cognitive Science, Macquarie University): "Action deception in sports: The case of muay thai"
  *   Caitrin Donovan (School of History & Philosophy of Science, University of Sydney): "Externalist Psychiatry: a critical taxonomy"
  *   Elizabeth Hagan Lawson (Department of Anthropology, Macquarie University): "Is addiction disease or desire?a case study in Uganda"

All are welcome to attend this free event, but please register your interest ahead of time to secure your seat and for catering purposes ? as there are limited spots available. Please contact mcarthur.mingon at mq.edu.au to register by the 20th of October.

To learn more about the Culture and Cognition Reading Group and/or to join the group?s mailing list, you can contact Dr Alex Gillett (alexander.gillett at mq.edu.au)

Thanks,
McArthur Mingon

Title: Brian Garrett (ANU)
Max Black and Backwards Causation

In this discussion I attempt to spell out Max Black?s arguments against the  
possibility of backwards causation.  Although Black?s arguments both fail  
in their intended aim, they show something of importance, viz., that  
defenders of backwards causation should understand his Houdini example (and  
others like it) in terms of the ?multiple causes? model.

Title: Metarevisions


Abstract: This paper introduces the first method for uniquely extending any  
given iterated belief revision operator so as to handle so-called  
conditional beliefs as inputs. This allows us to model agents capable of  
acquiring new beliefs not only regarding matters of fact, but also  
regarding which rules of inference they ought to use in reasoning about  
these facts. The suggestion is discussed against the backdrop of past  
research on the topic, including the work of Kern-Isberner, Boutillier &  
Goldzsmidt, Hansson and Nayak et al.
