APRIL 22-24, 2010
Description
Ethics and aesthetics share a
long history and often a common fate, largely because they both involve
subjective values that still lay claim to some measure of objectivity.
Each field studies the relations among judgments, emotional states,
representational states, art, rationality, motivation, behavior,
history, language, ontology, and culture. The symposium — with
participants from philosophy, neuroscience, cognitive science, and
related fields — will focus on how neuroscience is contributing to
these studies and, in turn, how ethics and aesthetics are contributing
to neuroscience.
