Thought Paper Topic for Seminar 7 on 11 Sep 2012
The thought
paper topic for Seminar 7 is as follows:
What
is the example of colour supposed to teach us about the embodied nature of
mind?
Readings for Seminar 7 on 11 September 2012
The readings
for Seminar 7 on 11 September are now available from the Main Office (U211).
There
are three readings: Varela, Thompson & Rosch (1993), Lakoff & Johnson
(1999), and Clark (1997).
As the
readings are quite lengthy, I would strongly advise you to collect them as soon
as possible.
In the
Varela, Thompson & Rosch reading, you can (if necessary) ignore the section
called ‘Self-organization Revisited (pp151-157) (although it should make some
more sense to you after you have read the Clark (1997) reading); and you can
also ignore the section on Heideggerian Psychoanalysis (pp179-180).

Thought Paper Topic for Seminar 4
The thought paper topic for Seminar 4 on Tuesday 14 Aug is:
Are Cosmides and Tooby right in thinking that our (superior) performance on cheater-detection tasks is best explained by a specialised cheater-detection module? Or might our performance instead be some kind of artifact based on a distinctive logic or structure in these tasks?
