SUMMARY:Metaphysics and Logic Seminar Andrew Tedder (Ruhr University Bochum)
DESCRIPTION:Title: An Algebraic View of the Mares-Goldblatt Semantics  \nAbstract: Mares and Goldblatt (2006) introduced a frame-based semantics for quantified extensions of relevant logics\, which are generally incomplete with respect to frame-based models employing the standard Tarskian/Kripkean machinery familiar from quantified modal and intuitionistic logic. In this talk\, I’ll be presenting an algebraic generalisation of the original Mares-Goldblatt semantics by abstracting away from features of the frame semantics. The upshot is a more general structure which is aimed to facilitate comparison with other approaches to quantifiers in relevant and other non-classical logics.

SUMMARY:Language and Mind Seminar | Niccolò Aimone Pisano "An instrumentalist take on the models of the Free-Energy Principle"
DESCRIPTION:The Free-Energy Principle (FEP) has gained increasing popularity in the philosophy of the cognitive sciences. There is a number of versions of this theory\, but the core ideas remain stable: self-organising adaptive systems\, and cognitive systems in particular\, are to be conceived of as approximating optimal Bayesian inference\, and in doing so they manage to remain attuned to their environment\, thus staying alive. These accomplishments are achieved by minimising an information-theoretic quantity known as free energy\, which is used as a tractable proxy for another quantity\, namely surprise. Surprise is an information-theoretic notion closely related to entropy\, and by keeping it to a minimum\, living organisms\, and cognitive systems in particular\, manage to remain far from thermodynamical equilibrium while exchanging matter and energy with their environment. This is done by performing Bayesian inferences so as to anticipate the sensory inputs coming from the environment and to actively influence the environment itself through action\, thus selectively sampling it. \nIn my talk\, I will discuss how to interpret the status of the statistical models employed within FEP\, whether in a realist or an instrumentalist key. Drawing on some insights coming from the literature on scientific modelling\, I will elaborate an argument in favour of an instrumentalist interpretation of the use of statistical models in the context of this theory\, and I will examine the implications that this interpretation has if one intends to elaborate an account of cognition (a “mark of the cognitive”) based on FEP.

SUMMARY:Epistemology Current Themes Seminar: Lara Jost (St Andrews) "Patient Activation or Patient Exploitation?"
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: In this talk\, I cast doubt over the benefits of a shift towards greater patient activation. Feminist medical ethics and recent studies about healthcare service utilisation highlight the importance of patients being active inquirers and autonomous agents. By improving their knowledge\, skills and confidence in managing their health\, patients secure better health outcomes and overcome medical paternalism. Contra this trend\, I propose to problematise some of these benefits by arguing that patient activation comes at a cost and can lead to the exploitation of patients. I argue that this is caused by the burdensome nature of the epistemic labour required from patients\, and subsequently by the unjust silencing that patients might endure after performing this epistemic labour.
