Today's guest is Dr Kate Lynch, who will discuss the topic of 'causal explanation in science'. Kate is a philosopher of biology and a lecturer in HPS at the University of Melbourne. In this episode Kate introduces us to the difference between 'causation' and 'causal explanation', as well as difficulties involved in assessing what makes a good causal explanation. Some of Kate's research looks at medical explanations of death, including the complications that can be involved in deciding what cause of death will be officially documented. We were fascinated to learn of the varied practical, political, and even social considerations that can shape what cause a physician ends up recording on a death certificate. We also appreciated the way Kate used concrete examples like this to draw us into further discussion of the role social values play in science, all the way  down to the core scientific task of articulating causal explanations for natural phenomena.You can find more interviews with and by Kate on the ABC's Philosophers Zone below:The philosophy of biology - ABC listenCausation and death - ABC listenWhat can genes tell us? - ABC listenOther relevant links:Kate Lynch, Emily Parke & Maureen O'Malley 'How Causal are Microbiomes?'Kate Lynch '‘Gay gene' testing apps aren't just misleading – they're dangerous'Kate Lynch 'Genes are not destiny: environment and education still matter when it comes to intelligence'James Woodward on Causal ExplanationPeter Menzies 'Difference Maker'Tania Lombrozo 'Simplicity and Probability in Causal Explanation'Knobe & Fraser 'Causal Judgement & Moral Judgement: Two Experiments'The transcript for this episode can be found at: https://www.hpsunimelb.org/post/s3-ep2-kate-lynch-transcriptThanks for listening to The HPS Podcast with your current hosts, Samara Greenwood and Carmelina Contarino.You can find more about us on our blog, website, bluesky, twitter, instagram and facebook feeds.

This is a solo episode where I discuss ethics in psychology, mental health, and medicine. I also review horrifying historical examples of experiments that reflect our collective values. I also make an argument against our approach to ethics and "CYA" focus rather than the philosophical discussions that formed this field to begin with. Think you know what really made the Tuskegee experiments memorable and what the Puerto Rico Pill Trials are? Check out this episode to really find out! Music: DJ DanceAlone and ProdLaurae

L'effet Knobe : quésaco ? C'est la tendance que nous avons à déduire les intentions de l'auteur ou l'autrice d'une action de manière différenciée selon que les conséquences secondaires de cette action sont positives ou négatives.

Intencjonalność. O czym myślę i co zamierzam - prof. dr hab. Mieszko Tałasiewicz Współcześnie w filozofii bada się dwa różne, choć powiązane ze sobą, pojęcia intencjonalności. Pierwsze ujmuje nakierowanie czegoś na coś czy zwrócenie się ku czemuś. Jest jednym z fundamentalnych pojęć semantyki – teorii opisującej to, w jaki sposób nasze myśli i wyrażenia odnoszą się do przedmiotów, na czym polega „zwrócenie” się myśli i języka do świata, co to znaczy, że nasze słowa są „o czymś”. Wiąże się z pojęciem prawdy, znaczenia – i rzeczywistości. Drugie pojęcie obejmuje zamiar zrobienia czegoś. Formalnie jest to szczególny przypadek pierwszego rozumienia: zamiar może być rozumiany jako pewien rodzaj nakierowania czegoś (podmiotu działającego) na coś (na cel działania). W praktyce jednak to drugie pojęcie leży u podstaw odrębnej dziedziny filozoficznej: teorii działania. Wiąże się z pojęciem świadomości, celowości - i odpowiedzialności. Oba pojęcia łączą się z ważnymi zagadnieniami, które prowadzą w głąb fundamentalnych kwestii metafizycznych, epistemologicznych i aksjologicznych, co czyni intencjonalność jednym z najdonioślejszych tematów filozoficznych. Wykład będzie poświęcony prezentacji niektórych spośród tych zagadnień, w szczególności problemu treści i przedmiotu reprezentacji umysłowych z jednej strony (na przykładzie współczesnej teorii plików mentalnych) i problemu intencjonalności grupowej z drugiej strony. Jako ciekawostka przedstawiony zostanie tzw. efekt efektu ubocznego (side-effect effect), zwany też efektem Knobe'a.

Een automobilist die jou expres dwars wil zitten, een collega die jou bewust negeert op een receptie of een navigatiesysteem dat jou per se een gemiste afslag alsnog wil laten nemen. Het lijkt alsof we continu en automatisch bedoelingen toeschrijven aan mensen én dingen. Wat maakt dat we gedrag van anderen zien als intentioneel? Hoe komt het dat we ook intenties aan dingen toeschrijven? En heeft dat eigenlijk nut? Aan de hand van psychologisch onderzoek bespreken Rolf en Anita antwoorden op deze vragen.Meer over doelgerichte acties vind je in hoofdstuk 9 van het boek Drang naar Samenhang: De Psychologie van het Begrijpen.

Character is the foundation to soft skill development The choices you make develop your character   https://quotesthoughtsrandom.wordpress.com/2015/12/14/what-makes-the-man/ (Booker T. Washington) once said, ““Character, not circumstances, makes the man.” What is character? Do you have it? How do you know? The choices you make develop your character. With every choice you make, the construction of your character continues.  I'd like to share with you a process that I consider when I am thinking about my own development as a leader of character: a very fundamental process. that includes 4 phases where I can see potential practical applications to my character development. The fundamental process: Assess – Develop – Implement – evaluate 1.      ASSESS: If I want to grow and develop as a person of character I must learn and keep learning how to assess and then chooses my thoughts; capturing them intentionally   2.      DEVELOP: Assure that I am grounded in choosing to connect heart, mind and soul.  3.      IMPLEMENT: take the time and energy to choose to be intentional   5 components that make up people's concept of being intentional a.      I want to be a person of character b.      I believe that the actions I take will help me to grow and develop as a person of character c.      I intend to do the actions – this is where my self discipline really needs to kick in d.      I have spent time learning about being a person of character and I have the ability to strengthen my most strongly held values e.      I see change taking place by my actions. I am implementing my plan. Back to the fundamental phases: The last phase is evaluation.   4.      EVALUATE: My actions are where my character becomes evident. As I evaluate my actions this is where I get motivated. My character begins to grow and develop. I am ready to use this process again and again to solidify and mature my growth. AND, I am ready to reach out to someone else and share the journey with them….  Using the same fundamental process, here is how I can destroy my character. 1.      Cease the active work of capturing my thoughts – allowing my thoughts to wander; 2.      Disconnect my heart, mind and soul so that my desires are imbalanced 3.      Cease the work of intentional living: Let others choose my actions for me 4.      Cease to take the time to see if my intentions and my actions are aligned What is Character?  Character is how you do anything. How you do everything. Character helps you get things done and goes far beyond the fame, the education, the finances, the titles…. Character is how you show up.

True Presence: A Game Changing Soft Skill The lack of true presence impacts those who need it the most.  Question #1: How do I define true presence in a leader? Key elements to the idea of a leader's true presence: ·        True presence in a leader is a moment by moment experience. An experience that can never be fully replicated again. ·        True presence is a subjective experience that often begins with a conversation where the leader asks the right question. ·        True presence is the property of each individual.  Definition of  true presence: AN INTENTIONAL WAY OF BEING by Dr Rosemary Parse Question #2: What is the value of true presence in a leader's life? Considering the soft skill of true presence nudges us to consider: •      Deeper, healthier relationships with those you work with or those you serve •      True presence has a positive impact has on successful outcomes •      On uncovering what really matters. The value is not in what you do but the difference you make. Question #3: What are some practical ways I can choose to embrace true presence? In other words what can I practice to put the human connection at the center of my work as a leader. In the 1990's Researchers identified five components of the concept of being intentional. We can use these components to put true presence into practice as “an intentional way of being”. STEP ONE: You have a desire for an outcome STEP TWO: You believe that what you are planning will lead to your desired STEP THREE. You intend to perform the actions within your plan STEP FOUR: You have the skill exists to perform the action.  STEP FIVE: You actually perform that action and in that moment of awareness you discover true presence.

The lecture begins with a consideration of the traditional consequentialist account of punishment–-that punishment is justified by its deterrent effect on future crimes. Traditional criticisms of the view are presented, and John Rawls’ two-level justification for punishment is offered as one possible way to avoid such criticisms by bringing together consequentialist and deontological justifications of punishment in a single theory. Next, Professor Gendler reviews some empirical research on punishment intuitions, including data on moral outrage and the “Knobe effect”. The lecture concludes with a brief discussion of how moral luck interacts with intuitions about punishment.

Helena de Preester using the Enactive TorchOn Thursday the 26th and Friday the 27th of March, 2009, the e-sense project hosted the Key Issues in Sensory Augmentation Workshop at the University of Sussex. I was invited to speak at the workshop; my position statement (included below) serves as a good (if long) summary of my talk.Media:PodSlides: iPod-ready video (.mp4; 19.3 MB; 26 min 25 sec)Audio (.mp3; 11.7 MB; 25 min 21 sec)PowerPoint file (.ppt; 696 KB)Position statement (.pdf; 78 KB)Sensory Augmentation, Synthetic Phenomenology & Interactive Empiricism: A Position StatementHow can empirical experiments with sensory augmentation devices be used to further philosophical and psychological enquiry into cognition and perception? The use of sensory augmentation devices can play a crucial role in overcoming conceptual roadblocks in philosophy of mind, especially concerning our understanding of conscious experience and perception. The reciprocal design/use cycle of such devices might facilitate the kind of conceptual advance that is necessary for progress toward a scientific account of consciousness, a kind of advance that is not possible to induce, it is argued, through traditional discursive, rhetorical and argumentative means. It is proposed that a philosopher's experience of using sensory augmentation devices can play a critical role in the development of their concepts of experience (Chrisley, Froese & Spiers 2008). The role of such experiences is not the same as the role of say, experimental observation in standard views of empirical science. On the orthodox view, an experiment is designed to test a (propositionally stated) hypothesis. The experiences that constitute the observational component of the experiment relate in a pre-determined, conceptually well-defined way to the hypothesis being tested. This is strikingly different from the role of experience emphasized by interactive empiricism (Chrisley 2010a; Chrisley 2008), in which the experiences transform the conceptual repertoire of the philosopher, rather that merely providing evidence for or against an empirical, non-philosophical proposition composed of previously possessed concepts. A means of evaluation is need to test the effectiveness of the device with respect to the goals of interactive empiricism and conceptual change. Experimental philosophy (Nichols 2004) looks at the way in which subjects' philosophical views (usually conceived as something like degree of belief in a proposition) change as various contingencies related to the proposition change (e.g., how does the way one describes an ethical dilemma change subjects' morality judgements of the various actions in that situation?; cf, e.g. (Knobe 2005)). One could apply this technique directly, by empirically investigating how use of sensory augmentation devices affect subjects' degree of belief in propositions concerning the nature of perceptual experience. However, it would be more in keeping with the insights of interactive empiricism if such experiments measured behaviour other than verbal assent to or dissent from propositions, such as reaction times and errors in classification behaviour. This might allow one to detect changes in subjects' conceptions of the domain that are not reportable or detectable by more propositional, self-reflective means. Are there rigorous techniques that can characterise the subjective experience of using sensory augmentation technology?Synthetic phenomenology is 1) any attempt to characterize the phenomenal states possessed, or modelled by, an artefact (such as a robot); or 2) any attempt to use an artefact to help specify phenomenal states (independently of whether such states are possessed by a naturally conscious being or an artefact) (Chrisley 2009; Chrisley 2010b; Chrisley 2008). Although "that" clauses, such as “Bob believes that the dog is running”, work for specifying the content of linguistically and conceptually structured mental states (such as those involved in explicit reasoning, logical thought, etc.), there is reason to believe that some aspects of mentality (e.g., some aspects of visual experience) have content that is not conceptually structured. Insofar as language carries only conceptual content, “that” clauses will not be able to specify the non-conceptual content of experience. An alternative means, such as synthetic phenomenology, is needed.Earlier (Chrisley 1995), I had suggested that we might use the states of a robotic model of consciousness to act as specifications of the contents of the modelled experiences. This idea has been developed for the case of specifying the non-conceptual content of visual experiences in the SEER-3 project (Chrisley and Parthemore 2007a; Chrisley & Parthemore 2007b). Specifications using SEER-3 rely on a discriminative theory of visual experience based on the notion of enactive expectations (expectations the robot has to receive a particular input were it to move in a particular way). Depictions of the changing expectational state of the robot can be constructed in real time, depictions that require the viewer to themselves deploy sensory—motor skills of the very kind that the theory takes to be essential to individuating the specified content. Thus, the viewer comes to know the discriminating characteristics of the content in an intuitive way (in contrast to, say, reading a list of formal statements each referring to one of the millions of expectations the robotic system has). Just as SEER-3 models, and permits the specification of, experiences in a modality we naturally possess (vision), so might other robotic systems, equipped with sensors that do not correspond to anything in the natural human sensory repertoire, model and permit the specification of other experiential states. As with the case of visual experience, specification cannot consist in a mere recording or snapshot of the sensor state at any moment, nor even in a sequence of such snapshots. Rather, the specification must be dynamically generated in response to the specification consumer's probing of the environment (virtual or real), with the sensor values being altered in a way that compensates for both the subjectivity of the experience being specified, and that of the recipient herself.References: Chrisley, R.

Many people think that the idea of experiments in philosophy is a contradiction. Joshua Knobe disagrees. He is at the forefront of a new movement known as Experimental Philosophy. David Edmonds interviews him in this episode of the Philosophy Bites podcast.  Philosophy Bites is made in association with the Institute of Philosophy. There is now a Philosophy Bites book published by Oxford University Press - further details are available on www.philosophybites.com
