#Zoomposium with Dr. #Wanja #Wiese: “The #mathematization of #consciousness or can #mind be #simulated?”

I had been aware of Wanja Wiese for some time, as his name has often been mentioned in the context of the application of the #philosophical #concepts of “#predictive #coding/#processing” and the “#free#energy #principle” (#Karl #Friston) in connection with the elucidation of the constitution of consciousness.

Why Did It Take So Long to Understand #Evolution By #NaturalSelection?

youtube.com/watch?v=F8iBCly2Jc

In this conversation, host #NeildeGrasseTyson and guest #RichardDawkins reflect on #philosopher #DanielDennett’s view that #Darwin’s theory of evolution by natural selection is the greatest idea ever conceived. They explore why this insight took so long to arise in #human #history, despite centuries of #philosophical #reasoning.

#Zoomposium with Professor Dr. #Daniel #Dennett: “A #naturalistic #view on #consciousness

The #philosophical #concept of supposed #naturalistic #monism is currently the basis of most approaches to elucidating the phenomenon of #consciousness in the research field of #cognitive #neuroscience, which attempt to #reduce #mental states to #physical #states.

📢#OutNow in #OA: 'Having Too Much: #Philosophical Essays on #Limitarianism' by Ingrid Robeyns (ed.).

'Having Too Much' is the first academic volume devoted to #limitarianism: the idea that using #economic or #ecosystem resources should not exceed certain limits. This concept has deep roots in #economic and #political thought.

One can find similar statements of such limits in thinkers such as #Plato, #Aquinas, and #Spinoza. But this book is the first time in contemporary #political #philosophy that #limitarianism is explored at length and in detail.

Including some of the key published articles as well as new chapters, 'Having Too Much' is necessary reading for scholars and students of #politicaltheory and #philosophy, as well as anyone interested in questions of #distributivejustice.
