Vagueness and weak emergence monism

Here is a link to a gathering of some physicists and philosophers in Lorenz institute March 2010 where Terry Horgan presents some views from our Austere Realism book:

Analytic epistemology youtube link

 This is an analytic epistemology Youtube link I was alerted about by Mylan Engel. Peter Klein, Alvin Goldman and Gettier are presented, so that Jones is a woman:

(I had occasion to listen and speak to Quine, Klein, Goldman.) Hope the link works.

Some current stuff

The paper with Terry Horgan on the Vague Content in a Non-Vague World is in a draft form, and there is the news that the publishing process for the the book in which it will be a chapter slowly moves on. In the meantime, Matjaz will be engaged in a symposium to which he was invited and where he will try to get some feedback about the Vojko and Nicole coauthored draft on Phenomenology of Dance. Matjaz and Vojko are slowly composing a paper on Vagueness and Moral Dilemmas. A version of this paper, along with some other stuff, is available here:  http://sites.google.com/site/matjazpotrc/files  Fifth chapter of the Austere Realism book will be presented on Monday, February 15th, and film recorded as usual; one hopes to see all these registrations as available on the net in a foreseeable future. The blobjectivism and priority monism debate still needs to be tackled, for the prospective paper with Terry, in an important monism collection. A small symposium about Austere Realism book in May in Ljubljana is in preparation, by the DAF or Slovene Society for Analytic Philosophy. The photo is from last year visit to London.

Morphological content supervenience ruminations

Matjaz and Terry discuss the epistemic relevance of morphological content (MC) in experiential evidentialism. One hypothesis is that MC chromatically illuminates total cognitive state (TCS) providing thereby the phenomenological justificatory dimension. Another stronger hypothesis concerns supervenience. But, does the relevant justificatory experience rest upon the MC background, or is it another way round?

Prevrednotenje

Terry Horgan je napisal nov clanek o svojem pogledu na nejasnost kot prevrednotenje. Nejasnost je brezmejnost, slednja pa je sledenje sibko nekoherentnim normativnim zahtevam, ki jim prakticno gledano sledimo, ne moremo pa jim docela zadostiti. V zadnjem odseku svojega clanka o nejasnosti Horgan primerja moralno dilemo oziroma moralni konflikt z nejasnostjo, katere brezmejnost terja sledenje pravilom, ne pa tudi njihove zadostitve. Sam sem ze prej razmisljal, da ima sledenje ne pa zadostitev sirso uporabo. Med drugim bi bilo mogoce razviti model intuicionisticnega pluralizma, ki prav tako sloni na moralnih dilemah oziroma konfliktih, in ga primerjati s taksnim zasnutkom.

Nejasnost in ples

V ponedeljek 21 decembra ob 11:20h, soba 434 FF bo profesor Potrc najprej predstavil drugo poglavje knjige Austere Realism, potem pa bo potekal pogovor o fenomenologiji plesa z Nicole Speletic. Ali bo Nicole tudi zaplesala?

Macka

Macka je na predprazniku. Le chat est sur le paillasson. The cat is on the mat. Kissa on kynnysmatolla. V redu, to ne bo cisto res.
