El grupo Santiago Mind & Cognition (SM&C) tiene el agrado de invitarles a un evento especial que se realizará el jueves 28 de agosto, organizado por la Universidad de Talca, el Magíster en Filosofía de la Universidad Alberto Hurtado y nuestro grupo de estudios SM&C, en formato de Coloquio de Postgrado.
En esta ocasión contaremos con la visita del Dr. Alfredo Vernazzani (Ruhr-Universität Bochum), quien dictará la conferencia: “Perceptual Discrimination and Necessary Laws of Appearance”.
A continuación presentamos el resumen de la conferencia:
Are perceptual appearances governed by metaphysically necessary laws? I argue that they are, and advance four such laws grounded in perceptual discriminatory capacities. The first law states that all appearances are located within a spatiotemporal envelope. The second and third law govern qualitative homogeneity and phenomenal segregation. The fourth law governs apparent boundaries. Together, these laws illuminate the modal structure of experience across sensory-modalities — including those absent in humans — and offer a principled framework for understanding appearances in non-human perceivers. I conclude by situating the laws proposed here within the recent debate on whether all laws of appearance are contingent.
Agradecemos especialmente a José Manuel Araya (U. de Talca) y su proyecto Fondecyt Iniciación (11240173) por hacer posible este evento.
