FW: Symposium on Animal Minds
by Christine Caldwell 23 Feb '16

23 Feb '16

Dear all, Some of you might be interested in attending this forthcoming meeting in Durham (18th - 20th April), which has just opened for registration. ASAB student members get free registration: https://www.dur.ac.uk/zoo.psy/registration/ Christine. Evidence of Animal Minds An Interdisciplinary Symposium As contribution to Durham IAS's 2015-16 exploration of the theme of Evidence, this three-day workshop will examine the problem of evidence in accounting for the phenomenon of 'animal minds' - the existence and character of (broadly conceived) mental phenomena in non-human animals. This controversial question offers a rich case for exploring the meanings of 'evidence' from a range of disciplinary perspectives. The meeting will assemble philosophers of mind and of knowledge, neuroscientists, experimental psychologists and ethologists, evolutionary biologists and biological anthropologists, social anthropologists and historians of science, as well as humanities scholars with expertise in visual culture. More info at: https://www.dur.ac.uk/zoo.psy/
