Workshop on ‘Know How’ — 23 May

24 Wednesday May 2017

Posted by Vlad Cadar in Events, Research, Seminars

≈ Leave a comment

Programme:

  • 11-12:30: Eliot Michaelson (KCL)
  • Lunch
  • 1:30-3:00: Ellen Fridland (KCL)
  • 3:00-4:30: Jennifer Hornsby (Birkbeck) – ‘Against anti-philosophical intellectualism’ *

* Abstract

Jennifer Hornsby: I’ll argue that questions about the nature of knowing how should be answered in philosophy, not linguistics. (a) Gilbert Ryle’s conception of self-knowledge as requiring “higher order acts” prevented him from addressing questions about knowing-how such as arise in philosophy of action. (b) Jason Stanley’s various misinterpretations of Ryle readily lead to his assumption that Ryle’s anti-intellectualism is a thesis about ascriptions of knowledge.

Knowledge First Philosophy of Mind

epistemology, Matthew Parrott, philosophy of mind

– A new Templeton Funded research project led by Matthew Parrott (KCL) and Anil Gomes (Oxford) which will involve seminars exploring different ways in which central topics in the epistemology of mind can be brought to bear on questions concerning the nature of mind.  These will prepare the groundwork for a two-day international conference on the metaphysical implications of the epistemology of mind. Philosophical study of the mind has too long ignored epistemological considerations. The primary aim in this project is to explore an epistemology-first approach to understanding the nature of the mind.

The first seminar will be on 8 May.

The website of the entire project can be found here.
