SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Transparency\, Moore’s Paradox and the Concept of Belief " by Prof. Adam Andreotta\, Curtin University\, Australia
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/95298043328 \nPassword: 568626 \n  \nAbstract \nIn this paper\, I take a closer look at the relationship between belief and judgement. I argue for the output thesis—the thesis that conscious judgements give rise to occurrent beliefs. I then go on to suggest that the output thesis provides independent support for the transparency method and an independent explanation of why Moore’s Paradox arises. My view stands in contrast to views in the literature which are sceptical of there being such a close connection between judgement and belief\, and also provides a challenge to those who support the transparency method by appealing to Moore’s Paradox. Along the way I discuss some of the implications of the output thesis for current characterisations of judgement and belief. Finally\, I address a significant objection to the output thesis—namely\, the set of cases where subjects assert that P\, but behave in ways that suggest they believe not-P. I argue that such cases do not undermine the output thesis. \n  \nBio \nProfessor Adam Andreotta is a Lecturer at Curtin University in Western Australia. He received his doctoral degree in Philosophy from the University of Western Australia in July 2018. ​His main research topic is the philosophy of self-knowledge—a major topic at the intersection of epistemology and the philosophy of mind. His Ph.D. thesis\, First-Person Authority and its Limits\, defended a view of self-knowledge called the transparency method—a view which differs from traditional inward-looking accounts of introspection. He has continued to publish work on the transparency method and other topics pertaining to self-knowledge. Beyond this\, he has published on the philosophy of artificial intelligence\, specifically on the Ethics of Big Data and AI Rights\, as well as the history of philosophy\, with a keen interest in the philosophical works of David Hume.

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Affective Basis of Cognition and Reasoning in Non-human Animals" by Prof. Sanja Srećković\, Ruhr University Bochum\, Germany
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/93537268512 \nPassword: 437792 \n  \nAbstract \nThe talk starts by presenting what I call ‘the two problems of animal reasoning’. The first problem concerns the mainstream understanding of reasoning in philosophy of mind and epistemology\, which faces significant difficulties explaining a growing body of empirical results in animal cognition research. The second problem concerns the interpretation of the same empirical results within comparative psychology\, namely\, whether they are best explained by appeal to (‘lower’) associative or (‘higher’) cognitive mechanisms. Some recent developments have led to a crisis of both this practice and the distinction between the ‘associative’ and the ‘cognitive’. In response to these two problems\, I develop an affect-based approach to reasoning\, which broadens the conception of reasoning to include the non-human cases. I also show that affective experiences exhibit both ‘associative’ and ‘cognitive’ characteristics\, further challenging the strict dichotomy between them\, which might more fruitfully be replaced by a continuum. \n  \nBio \nSanja Srećković received her Ph.D. degree in Philosophy at the University of Belgrade in 2019\, where she continued working as a Research Associate. During her PhD\, she was a visiting scholar at York University in Toronto\, where she did research on mental representation and animal cognition. In February 2024\, she won an EPSA Fellowship for a research visit to the University of Geneva\, to work on philosophy of emotions and philosophy of biology. In 2024 she became a Humboldt Postdoctoral Fellow at Ruhr University Bochum\, where she joined Alber Newen’s research group. Her current work combines research on mental representation\, reasoning and affective experiences from a comparative and developmental perspective. The goal of her research project is to develop a framework for understanding reasoning that does not depend on linguistic capability and can include non-linguistic reasoning agents. She is also exploring the role of affective and emotional experiences in developing more abstract cognitive capacities.

SUMMARY:FAH/DPHIL Lecture Series – “Seeing the Non-existent " by Prof. Wolfgang Barz\, Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich\, Germany
DESCRIPTION:Zoom: https://umac.zoom.us/j/95409920647 \nPassword: 651054 \n  \nAbstract \nIn my talk I will outline a direct-realist theory of sensory experience\, i.e. a theory according to which material objects are directly given to us in sensory experience. In contrast to other versions of direct realism\, however\, I will not limit the scope of this claim to veridical experiences\, but extend it to non-veridical cases (hallucinations\, illusions\, dreams) as well. The central idea of my approach is to understand non-veridical cases of sensory experience as direct awarenesses of non-existent material objects. I would like to draw on a conception of non-existent objects that was originally introduced by Alexius Meinong (1904) and later developed further by Terence Parsons (1980)\, Richard Routley (1980) and Dale Jacquette (1996). \n  \nBio \nWolfgang works as a visiting professor at Ludwig-Maximilians University Munich\, Germany. His core interests lie in various areas of theoretical philosophy. Currently\, he is working primarily on problems of self-consciousness and self-knowledge. However\, he is also interested in the structure of phenomenal concepts\, the nature of non-existent objects and metaphilosophical questions\, in particular the question of what makes a topic an object of philosophical research. — Earlier\, Wolfgang worked at Goethe-University Frankfurt\, Duisburg-Essen University\, Leibniz University Hannover\, Bielefeld University\, Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg\, and Freie Universität Berlin. He lives in Berlin\, together with his partner and two children.
