NATURALISM AND THE MIND

KAZIMIERZ NATURALISM WORKSHOP 2009

September 4th - 8th 2009

Kazimierz Dolny, Poland

 

Invited key speakers

Tim Crane (Cambridge, UK)

Carl Craver (St. Louis, USA)

Álvaro Moreno (UPV/EHU, Spain)

Joelle Proust (Institute Jean Nicod, France)

Ricardo Sanz (UPM, Spain)

 

Naturalism is currently the most vibrantly developing approach to philosophy, with naturalised methodologies being applied across all the philosophical disciplines. One of the areas naturalism has been focussing upon is the mind, traditionally viewed as a topic hard to reconcile with the naturalistic worldview. A number of questions have been pursued in this context. What is the place of the mind in the world? How  should study we the mind as a natural phenomenon? What is the significance of cognitive science research for philosophical debates? The workshop aims to further the development of a naturalistic view of the mind through focussed, friendly discussion undertaken in the relaxed atmosphere of a picturesque historical town.

Kazimierz Dolny lies on the Vistula, about a hundred and twenty kilometres south east of Warsaw, the closest international airport and railway hub. A minibus will be organised to take workshop participants from Warsaw to Kazimierz and back at the start and end of the workshop. If arriving on a different date, it will be necessary to make your own way down to Kazimierz.

Apart from the minibus, the easiest way to reach Kazimierz from Warsaw is by train to Pulawy and then either by taxi or by bus to Kazimierz. The trains to Pulawy run from the Warsaw Central station every two and a half hours or so (if arriving at the airport, the best way to reach the central station is by bus 175 - the ticket is 2.80 PLN). It is best to use the on-line rail route planner (leaving 'Warszawa Centralna' arriving 'Pulawy Miasto') to find out the exact times the trains run. The cost of the rail ticket is under 30 PLN in second class and under 45 PLN in first class.

In Pulawy there is a taxi stand just outside the station. The trip to Kazimierz is only 14 km (about 35 PLN).

An important tip: Do not, by mistake, go to the 'other' Kazimierz, which is a suburb of Kraków.
