This Spring features a series of workshops pertaining to understanding, hosted by the Humanities division of the University of Bucharest’s Research Institute (ICUB-SSU).
The first workshop concerns the philosophy of neuroscience and the philosophy of medical sciences. It will take place on Friday, May 20, between 4pm and 6pm local time for Bucharest, Romania.
4pm: H.A. Holland’s (Vrije Universiteit) talk is titled “Justifying data-to-phenomena reasoning in the context of early X-ray imaging”. The talk will be delivered in English.
5pm: C.D. Marineci’s (Universitatea de Medicină şi Farmacie “Carol Davila”) talk is titled “Ne ajută neuroștiința să înțelegem înțelegerea?” (“Does neuroscience help us understand understanding?”) The talk will be delivered in Romanian.
Meetings are held virtually via Zoom. Whenever possible, talks will be recorded and posted on the YouTube channel of the Department of Theoretical Philosophy at UB: https://www.youtube.com/
The workshops are part of the “Understanding: phenomenal and epistemic aspects” project. This is an UEFISCDI postdoctoral project granted to Andrei Mărășoiu (no. PN-III-P1-1.1-PD-2019-0535).
The meetings are part of an initiative to encourage early career researchers, to build research networks, develop new insights and collaborative projects, all the while exploring the significance of understanding in a variety of contexts of inquiry.
