哲學專題討論(二)

The research seminar for the Institute of Philosophy of Mind and Cognition (IPMC) and the Philosophy, Intelligence, Brain, and Mind Cross-Disciplinary Program (PIBM) invites researchers based both in Taiwan and abroad to present current work of relevance to the areas of focus of the institute. It also offers students the opportunity to acquaint themselves with the latest work in the relevant areas, and to interact with those who produce it.

Enrolled students will: • Practice listening to presentations to understand unfamiliar content. • Learn how to have academic discussions during the question-and-answer sessions that follow academic presentations. • Learn how to write a critical review of an academic presentation.

• Students will select three of the presentations and write a critical review of each of these five presentations. • Each critical review should be between 1000 and 1500 words in English. • Each critical review should briefly summarize the content of the presentation and raise one or two questions about the presentation. • Each critical review is due two weeks after the presentation that it is about. Attendance and participation: 40% • Students are expected to attend all talks unless there is an excused absence. Failure to apply for an excused absence will result in a 5% reduction in the attendance score. • Each student must ask at least one question per question-and answer session of four different presentations (i.e., the student must ask four questions in total over four different presentations). • Students are also permitted to show up late to one course meeting per semester without an excuse. If a student is more than five minutes late for another course meeting after this, they will lose half of their credit for this 10% of their grade.
