Guest Lecture: Ellen Fridland (CUNY)

“Thoughts without concepts”

It is widely accepted that in order to explain various characteristic features of thought, one must hold that thoughts are constituted by concepts. In this talk, I will argue that many types of rationality need not be explained in terms of full-fledged concepts. I argue that a minimal notion of intelligence is sufficient to account for several kinds of cognitive capacities and behaviors. http://gc-cuny.academia.edu/EllenFridland All are welcome!
