Description
Philosopher
Paul
Churchland
,
currently
nearing
the
end
of his
second
decade
in
resistance
at the
University
of
California
,
San
Diego
, has
long
been what
is
often
quite
rare
: a
cutting-edge
academic
philosopher
. He as been at the
vanguard
(alongside
his
wife
,
Patricia
Churchland)
of "
Neurophilosophy
" the
attempt
to
draw
philosophical
lessons
from the
burgeoning
neural
sciences
. He has
advocated
taking
a "
neurocomputational
perspective
" on
long-standing
problems
in
epistemology
, the
philosophy
of
science
,
metaphysics
(in
particular
, the
mind-body
problem)
, and
even
ethics
. For
many
decades
now
, he has been the
foremost
proponent
of the
philosophical
position
known
as "
Eliminative
Materialism
" the
thesis
that
our
commonsense
psychological
understanding
of
ourselves
could
be, and
further
very
likely
is
,
radically
mistaken
; that
our
naive
concepts
, of
such
things
as "
beliefs
" and "
desires
"
ought
to be
relegated
to the
dustbin
of
science
history
,
alongside
phlogiston
and the
geocentric
solar
system
.
Instead
, he
proposes
replacing
them with
new
concepts
drawn
from
computational
neuroscience
.
Professor
Brian
Keeley
,
Assistant
Professor
of
Philosophy
at
Pitzer
College
, will
show
how
Churchland's
"
new
" and "
radical
"
ideas
grew
quite
naturally
out
of the
more
"
traditional
"
philosophers
who
influenced
him. What
is
new
in
Churchland
is
, in
fact
, not the
individual
theses
that
make
up
his
worldview
, but
rather
his
unique
way
of
combining
and
relating
these
ideas
to
one
another
. This
lecture
will
draw
upon
a
paper
in the
forthcoming
book
,
Paul
Churchland
,
which
Professor
Keeley
is
editing
for the
Contemporary
Philosophy
in
Focus
series
from
Cambridge
University
Press
.
