  Emergence of Mind

  One of the impressive new areas of scientific interest is the science of the brain. New tools and new theoretical approaches have resulted in new insights into how humans get around in the world and understand themselves. But this new science has its roots in broadly philosophical investigations of the mind going back to the classic thinkers from the beginning of modernity. In this conference, we will juxtapose contemporary scientists working on the brain with historians of philosophy and science working on classic figures like Descartes, Hobbes, Locke and Cudworth, among others, to see how the new can illuminate the old, and the old the new.

  Negative knowledge

  L’avènement de la modernité s’est accompagné d’une critique radicale de la métaphysique traditionnelle. Depuis les Lumières (notamment françaises) et plus encore avec Nietzsche et sa déconstruction des « Hinterweltler », la quête de justifications ultimes (Letztbegründungen) ou de connaissances transcendant l’immanence est devenue une entreprise largement suspecte. Si le rétablissement de systèmes métaphysiques aspirant à « expliquer tout », comme le formulait Kierkegaard avec ironie, ne semble aujourd’hui ni possible ni souhaitable, se pose toutefois la question de savoir s’il reste légitime de poser des questions métaphysiques dans l’ère post-métaphysique, et sous quelle forme.
