The Faculty of Philosophy, University of Cambridge, in conjunction with Routledge present the eighth annual Routledge Lecture in Philosophy:
'Acting and Thinking Together' Given by Professor Michael Bratman (Stanford University) on Thursday 12 June at 5.30pm in the Lecture Theatre, Trinity Hall, Cambridge. Abstract: Human beings act together in characteristic ways, and these forms of shared intentional and shared cooperative activity matter to us a great deal. Think of friendship, singing duets, and the joys of conversation. And think about the usefulness of conversation and of how we frequently manage to work together to achieve complex goals, from constructing buildings to putting on plays to establishing important results in the sciences. I seek a framework for understanding these basic forms of sociality. And the conjecture I explore in this talk is that structures of individual planning agency are at the heart of such sociality. The lecture is free and open to all. _____________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CamPhilEvents mailing list, or change your membership options, please visit the list information page: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEvents List archive: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEventsArchive Please note that CamPhilEvents doesn't accept email attachments.
