Computational heories of Mind graduate (master s) 2014/2015 wintewr semester ECS 6 he easiest way to introduce computational theories of mind is to invoke a famous metaphor the mind is the software and the brain is the hardware. From the outset of theories of computation (it was evident in the seminal uring paper) the idea that the mind might be a set of algorithms implemented in the brain seemed very attractive. It looked like we could eat our cake and have it too: the intuition that the mind is somehow immaterial was preserved but we didn't have to adhere to any metaphysical claims. Everything was coached in standard naturalistic terms. Unfortunately the idea has been severely challenged in the following years. Most notably by John R. Searle famous counterexamples (the Chinese room thought experiment) and by the advance of connectivists' models of mind 3
4 (the neural networks approach). he course gives the students a thorough understandig of classic and current approaches to computational theories of mind.

Rhetoric and Argumentation ECS 6 In everyday life we often find ourselves in a situation in which we discuss certain issues with our interlocutor and even though we feel that (s)he is wrong with her statements, we cannot tell why. Frequently it is the case that the interlocutor is only rhetorically more skillful than us and despite the fact that we are substantially right in our opinions, it suffices for him (her) to win a discussion. During the course we are going to learn how to identify unfair arguments in a discussion. We will also investigate the structure of arguments and distinguish these constituents of an argument, whose violation results in a fallacy (or an unfair trick). In the end, we will get to know different classifications of (both correct and incorrect) arguments and we will name and discuss the most important types of them. A substantial part of the course will be devoted to thought errors we tend to commit in everyday reasoning (which is one of the causes of our vulnerability to unfair arguments exploited in discussions). One of them is known under the name of conjunction fallacy and was primarily described by Daniel Kahneman in his book hinking fast and slow, in which he presented the following experiment: a fictional figure, Linda, was pictured to a group of students as follows: Linda is 31 years old, single, outspoken, and very bright. She majored in philosophy. As a student, she was deeply concerned with issues of discrimination and social justice, and also participated in anti-nuclear demonstrations. Afterwards, the students were asked which is more probable: a) Linda is a bank teller b) Linda is a bank teller and is active in the feminist movement. 13
14 Even though a) is correct by the sole structure of both answers, and we do not need to refer to our knowledge about the external world to find it out, 90% of respondents picked the second option! It turns out that in everyday reasoning we tend to make a lot of such thinking errors. Some of them are of logical nature we draw conclusions from premises improperly, other consist in, e.g., not paying enough attention to premises one accepts. During the course we will systematically track and classify different kinds of fallacies committed in everyday reasoning, and will learn how to avoid them. 2 courseworks, each one consisting of a set of logical problems to solve Michał Zawidzki zawidzki@filozof.uni.lodz.pl K.
