TORINO: April 12-14 2016
CORSI E SEMINARI ALL'UNIVERSITA' DI GENOVA
LINGUAGGIO & COGNIZIONE
Dipartimento di Scienze della Formazione
Dipartimento di Antichità, Filosofia e Storia
Seminario organizzato da Filippo Domaneschi e Massimiliano Vignolo
Gli incontri di massima si terranno in via Bensa 1 (a 10 minuti dalla stazione di Genova Principe)
Aula Dottorandi di Filosofia – dalle ore 11 alle ore 13 –
Nell’uso quotidiano del linguaggio i parlanti utilizzano abitualmente nomi propri e descrizioni per riferirsi a oggetti e
individui. Quali processi cognitivi ci consentono di individuare il riferimento di un’espressione? Come riusciamo talvolta a
comprendere descrizioni imprecise, scorrette o ambigue? La capacità di riferirsi a oggetti e individui è una competenza
linguistica di base o di un’abilità che i parlanti acquisiscono e sviluppano nel tempo con la pratica linguistica?
Il seminario, rivolto in particolare agli studenti e ai dottorandi di Psicologia e Filosofia, si propone di affrontare il problema
dell’assegnazione del riferimento, un tema classico della psicologia cognitiva e della filosofia del linguaggio.
Il ciclo di otto incontri sarà suddiviso in due parti: nella prima sezione, verranno presentati i principali approcci teorici al
tema trattato, nella seconda parte, verranno discussi i risultati dei più recenti lavori sperimentali

NATURAL, SOCIAL AND ARTIFICAL KINDS
Seminario coordinato da Cristina Amoretti e Marcello Frixione –
Dire che una scienza studia generi naturali, anziché sociali o artificiali, significa che è possibile individuare degli elementi che riflettono la reale struttura della natura, anziché azioni, interessi e valori umani. I problemi sollevati da simili questioni – che coinvolgono la natura e la semantica di concetti quali specie, genere, razza, malattia ecc. – sono fra i più discussi in ambito filosofico e hanno ripercussioni importanti per le varie scienze e l’etica.
Salvo esigenze diverse, gli incontri si terranno
il LUNEDì, dalle 16.00 alle 18.00 nell’aula Dottorandi di Via Bensa 1.
Si consiglia la lettura preliminare di: A. Bird & E. Tobin, Natural Kinds – http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/natural-kinds/
I testi da leggere e discutere nelle varie lezioni saranno definiti e messi a disposizione nel corso del seminario stesso. Gli incontri di lettura saranno alternati a conferenze di relatori “esterni” tra cui: Andrea Borghini, Elena Casetta, Elisabetta Lalumera, Diego Marconi.
