The team of the MetPhil project (Croatian Science Foundation IP-2022-10-2550) is pleased to announce the thirteenth workshop in the series.
The workshop will be held on Thursday, October 30th at 18.00 CET over the Zoom platform.
The topic of the workshop will be a talk given by Professor Justin Weinberg who is an Associate Professor at the Department of Philosophy, McCausland College of Arts and Sciences, University of South Carolina. The title of the talk is “Artificial Philosophy“.
Talk Summary: Many philosophers hold that the (primary) aim of philosophy is or involves obtaining correct answers to big philosophical questions. There are many tasks necessary for making progress towards that aim which seem practically impossible for humans, individually or collectively. Meanwhile, technological developments suggest that in the near future, artificial intelligence will be able to complete these tasks. This paper takes up this question: what does reflection on this possibility, and our reaction to it, tell us about the aims of philosophy?
This workshop will consist of a presentation followed by a moderated discussion. We kindly invite participants to actively engage in a dialogue regarding the topic of each presentation and to contribute perspectives from their respective fields of study.
Those interested to participate in this workshop can send their request to the email address metafilozofija@gmail.com and they will receive the Zoom link (please introduce yourself while writing the request).
We look forward to your participation in what promises to be a productive and interesting workshop.
