Call for Abstracts WAYS OF ENACTION
III International Colloquium on Colours and Numbers (ICCN) 11 - 13 September 2017, Fortaleza, Brazil www.lia.ufc.br/~logia/ways/ Contemporary philosophical discussion have been developing tenets in pragmatism (broadly construed) to motivate it as an alternative philosophical foundation for a comprehensive understanding of cognition, opposed to a far-reaching representationalist tradition. They call attention to the import of inherited and embodied practices and cooperation in order to understand language, intentionality and cognition. They take seriously evolving biological systems and situated individuals interacting in communities over time as preconditions of our rationality, features often dismissed as not central in the representationalist tradition. More recently, enactive approaches incorporate further biological insights into the discussion of cognition, by calling attention to basic facts about living organisms such as their perpetual activity of self-construction (autopoiesis), their need to be constantly adapting to the changing conditions of the environment (adaptivity), and their selective responsiveness to specific aspects of the environment creating their own world of significance (enaction). Following on this trend, radically enactivist approaches, then, take the bold movement of proposing the complete removal of any residue of representational content in the explanation of cognition in basic minds, not only for simple organism but also at human level. Together with embodied, embedded, ecological approaches, this research program has been very successful in providing explanations for a wide variety of basic cognitive phenomena. Now, the enactive approach to cognition faces the challenge of proving itself relevant for the investigation of traditional problems related to higher level cognition involving notions such as information, representation, thought, etc. To tackle such problems, this conference will welcome submissions on the following topics: * Topics of Interest - Enactivism x Representationalism - Enactivism and Pragmatism - Enactivism and Language - Enactivism and Intentionality - Enactive approaches to Perception, Memory, Imagination - Enactive approaches to Formal Sciences as Logic and Mathematics - Cognition and Artificial intelligence without content * Submissions We accept abstracts containing from 700 to 1000 words written in English describing your work in some of the topics above. Accepted works will be presented in time slots of 30 minutes. Abstracts should be sent to: [email protected] A volume containing complete versions of selected works is being planned to be launched after the conference. Authors of selected abstracts will be invited to submit complete papers to this volume. * Invited Speakers (confirmed) Daniel Hutto (University of Wollongong, Australia) Erik Myin (Universiteit Antwerpen, Belgium) Tarcísio Pequeno (Federal University of Ceará, Brazil) Marcelo Carvalho (Federal University of São Paulo, Brazil) Glenda Satne (Alberto Hurtado University, Chile) Mario Villalobos (Universidad de Tarapacá, Chile) * Important Dates Submission Deadline: 20 May 2017 Notification of Acceptance: 1 June 2017 Conference Dates: 11 to 13 September 2017 * Scientífic Committee Carlos Brito (Federal University of Ceará, Brazil) Daniel Hutto (University of Wollongong, Australia) Eryk Myin (Universiteit Antwerpen, Belgium) Tarcísio Pequeno (Federal University of Ceará, Brazil) Glenda Satne (Alberto Hurtado University, Chile) Marcos Silva (Federal University of Alagoas, Brazil) Mario Villalobos (Universidad de Tarapacá, Chile) * Organizing Committee Daniel Augusto Carlos Brito Francicleber Ferreira Marcos Silva Tiago Magalhães Victor Marques Yuri Nogueira * Contact: [email protected] * For further information about former ICCN’s please visit: * https://sites.google.com/site/iccn2015/ -- Você está recebendo esta mensagem porque se inscreveu no grupo "LOGICA-L" dos Grupos do Google.
