Cognition, Affection and Perception. 1st Philosophy-Workshop of RUB (Institut f. Phil. II) and UFMG (Univ. at Belo Horizonte, Brazil)

Cognition, Affection and Perception. 1st Philosophy-Workshop of RUB (Institut f. Phil. II) and UFMG (Univ. at Belo Horizonte, Brazil)

Description: 

Our minds possess the capacity to perceive our surroundings (visually, acoustically, etc.), but also the capacity to think and cognize, and the capacity to feel and being emotionally affected. An interesting and much-debated question is how perception and cognition interact. Does cognition penetrate and alter our perceptual uptake of the environment? And if yes, how? Beside cognitive penetration, there is an intriguing and much-less discussed question of whether affective and emotional states pentrate and alter our perceptual experience.
 

Such questions constitute the main topics of the 1st RUB-UFMG Philosophy workshop. Philosophers from the Ruhr-Universität Bochum and from the Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais will discuss and comment each others works.

Psychopathology and the ‘Scaling Up’ Problem 

Psychopathology and the ‘Scaling Up’ Problem 

Zoom Conference 

15.00-17.30 (CET), October 5-7, 2020 

This conference will focus upon the extent to which phenomenological and enactive accounts of psychopathology are, or must be, ‘representation hungry’. Whilst explicitly anti-cognitivist phenomenological and enactive accounts of psychopathology are present in the literature, very little work has been carried out on discerning the extent to which they require the positing of representation. This is somewhat surprising, because ‘representation hungry’ cognition (thought, imagery, hallucination) plays a prominent role in most psychopathologies. The aim of the conference is to fill this gap by determining whether the concept “representation” is helpful, harmful, or irrelevant to understanding (phenomenological and enactive accounts of) psychopathology. 

Participation in the conference is free, but please do e-mail Adrian Downey (a.downey@sussex.ac.uk) in order to register for the conference and so receive the Zoom Meeting ID and password.
