  • Why Dreyfus' Frame Problem Argument Cannot Justify Anti
    Why Dreyfus’ Frame Problem Argument Cannot Justify Anti- Representational AI Nancy Salay ([email protected]) Department of Philosophy, Watson Hall 309 Queen‘s University, Kingston, ON K7L 3N6 Abstract disembodied cognitive models will not work, and this Hubert Dreyfus has argued recently that the frame problem, conclusion needs to be heard. By disentangling the ideas of discussion of which has fallen out of favour in the AI embodiment and representation, at least with respect to community, is still a deal breaker for the majority of AI Dreyfus‘ frame problem argument, the real locus of the projects, despite the fact that the logical version of it has been general polemic between traditional computational- solved. (Shanahan 1997, Thielscher 1998). Dreyfus thinks representational cognitive science and the more recent that the frame problem will disappear only once we abandon the Cartesian foundations from which it stems and adopt, embodied approaches is revealed. From this, I hope that instead, a thoroughly Heideggerian model of cognition, in productive debate will ensue. particular one that does not appeal to representations. I argue The paper proceeds in the following way: in section I, I that Dreyfus is too hasty in his condemnation of all describe and distinguish the logical version of the frame representational views; the argument he provides licenses problem and the philosophical one that remains unsolved; in only a rejection of disembodied models of cognition. In casting his net too broadly, Dreyfus circumscribes the section II, I rehearse Dreyfus‘ negative argument, what I‘ll cognitive playing field so closely that one is left wondering be calling his frame problem argument; in section III, I how his Heideggerian alternative could ever provide a highlight some key points from Dreyfus‘ positive account of foundation explanatorily robust enough for a theory of a Heideggerian alternative; in section IV, I make my case cognition.

  • Kierkegaard on Selfhood and Our Need for Others
    Kierkegaard on Selfhood and Our Need for Others 1. Kierkegaard in a Secular Age Scholars have devoted much attention lately to Kierkegaard’s views on personal identity and, in particular, to his account of selfhood.1 Central to this account is the idea that a self is not something we automatically are. It is rather something we must become. Thus, selfhood is a goal to realize or a project to undertake.2 To put the point another way, while we may already be selves in some sense, we have to work to become real, true, or “authentic” selves.3 The idea that authentic selfhood is a project is not unique to Kierkegaard. It is common fare in modern philosophy. Yet Kierkegaard distances himself from popular ways of thinking about the matter. He denies the view inherited from Rousseau that we can discover our true selves by consulting our innermost feelings, beliefs, and desires. He also rejects the idea developed by the German Romantics that we can invent our true selves in a burst of artistic or poetic creativity. In fact, according to Kierkegaard, becom- ing an authentic self is not something we can do on our own. If we are to succeed at the project, we must look beyond ourselves for assistance. In particular, Kierkegaard thinks, we must rely on God. For God alone can provide us with the content of our real identi- ties.4 A longstanding concern about Kierkegaard arises at this point. His account of au- thentic selfhood, like his accounts of so many concepts, is religious.

  • Man As 'Aggregate of Data'
    AI & SOCIETY https://doi.org/10.1007/s00146-018-0852-6 OPEN FORUM Man as ‘aggregate of data’ What computers shouldn’t do Sjoukje van der Meulen1 · Max Bruinsma2 Received: 4 October 2017 / Accepted: 10 June 2018 © The Author(s) 2018 Abstract Since the emergence of the innovative field of artificial intelligence (AI) in the 1960s, the late Hubert Dreyfus insisted on the ontological distinction between man and machine, human and artificial intelligence. In the different editions of his clas- sic and influential book What computers can’t do (1972), he posits that an algorithmic machine can never fully simulate the complex functioning of the human mind—not now, nor in the future. Dreyfus’ categorical distinctions between man and machine are still relevant today, but their relation has become more complex in our increasingly data-driven society. We, humans, are continuously immersed within a technological universe, while at the same time ubiquitous computing, in the words of computer scientist Mark Weiser, “forces computers to live out here in the world with people” (De Souza e Silva in Interfaces of hybrid spaces. In: Kavoori AP, Arceneaux N (eds) The cell phone reader. Peter Lang Publishing, New York, 2006, p 20). Dreyfus’ ideas are therefore challenged by thinkers such as Weiser, Kevin Kelly, Bruno Latour, Philip Agre, and Peter Paul Verbeek, who all argue that humans are much more intrinsically linked to machines than the original dichotomy suggests—they have evolved in concert. Through a discussion of the classical concepts of individuum and ‘authenticity’ within Western civilization, this paper argues that within the ever-expanding data-sphere of the twenty-first century, a new concept of man as ‘aggregate of data’ has emerged, which further erodes and undermines the categorical distinction between man and machine.

  • Creativity in Nietzsche and Heidegger: the Relation of Art and Artist
    Creativity in Nietzsche and Heidegger: The Relation of Art and Artist Justin Hauver Philosophy and German Mentor: Hans Sluga, Philosophy August 22, 2011 I began my research this summer with a simple goal in mind: I wanted to out- line the ways in which the thoughts of Friedrich Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger complement one another with respect to art. I had taken a few courses on each philosopher beforehand, so I had some inclination as to how their works might be brought into agreement. However, I almost immediately ran into difficulty. It turns out that Heidegger, who lived and thought two or three generations after Nietzsche, had actually lectured on the topic of Nietzsche's philosophy of art and had placed Nietzsche firmly in a long tradition characterized by its mis- understanding of art and of the work of art. This means that Heidegger himself did not agree with me|he did not see his thoughts on art as complementary with Nietzsche's. Rather, Heidegger saw his work as an improvement over the misguided aesthetic tradition. Fortunately for me, Heidegger was simply mistaken. At least, that's my thesis. Heidegger did not see his affinity with Nietzsche because he was misled by his own misinterpretation. Nevertheless, his thoughts on art balance nicely with those of Nietzsche. To support this claim, I will make three moves today. First, I will set up Heidegger's critique, which is really a challenge to the entire tradition that begins with Plato and runs its course up to Nietzsche. Next, I will turn to Heidegger's views on art to see how he overcomes the tradition and answers his own criticism of aesthetics.

  • San Andreas: Architecture for the Fault
    CourseNo: ARCHA4104_003_2013_1 Instructor Information: Geoffrey M Manaugh Nicola Ann Twilley ADV STUDIO IV - TUTORIAL: San Andreas: Architecture for the Fault Image: Lebbeus Woods, from San Francisco Project: Inhabiting the Quake, Quake City, 1995 Course: GSAPP Advanced Studio IV, Spring 2013 Instructor: Geoff Manaugh | [email protected] Schedule: Monday/Wednesday, 2-6pm Tutorial; Friday, 2-6pm Research & Work The San Andreas Fault is an 800-mile tectonic feature cutting diagonally across the state of California, from the coastal spit of Cape Mendocino, roughly 200 miles north of San Francisco, to the desert shores of the Salton Sea near the U.S./Mexico border. Described by geologists as a “transform fault,” the San Andreas marks a stark and exposed division between the North American and Pacific Plates. It is a landscape on the move—“one of the least stable parts of the Earth,” in the words of paleontologist Richard Fortey. Seismologists estimate that, in only one million years’ time, the two opposing sides of the fault will have slid past one another to the extent of physically sealing closed the entrance to San Francisco Bay, while, at the other end of the state, Los Angeles will be dragged more than 15 miles north of its present position. Then another million years will pass—and another, and another—violently and irreversibly distorting Californian geography, with the San Andreas as a permanent, sliding scar. In some places, the fault is a picturesque landscape of rolling hills and ridges; in others, it takes the form of a broad valley, marked by quiet streams, ponds, and reservoirs; in yet others, it is not visible at all, hidden beneath the rocks and vegetation.

  • Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Who’s Got Next? Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology by Michael Francis DeLand 2014 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Who’s Got Next? Social Integration at a Public Park Basketball Court by Michael Francis DeLand Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology University of California, Los Angeles, 2014 Professor Jack Katz, Chair This dissertation examines the ongoing formation of a public park as a particular type of public place. Based on four years of in-depth participant observation and historical and archival research I show how a pickup basketball scene has come to thrive at Ocean View Park (OVP) in Santa Monica California. I treat pickup basketball as a case of public place integration which pulls men out of diverse biographical trajectories into regular, intense, and emotional interactions with one another. Many of the men who regularly play at Ocean View Park hold the park in common, if very little else in their lives. Empirical chapters examine the contingencies of the park’s historical formation and the basketball scene’s contemporary continuation. Through comparative historical research I show how Ocean View Park was created as a “hidden gem” within its local urban ecology. Then I show that the intimate character of the park affords a loose network of men the opportunity to sustain regular and informal basketball games. Without the structure of formal organization men arrive at OVP explicitly to build and populate a vibrant gaming context with a diverse array of ii others.
