8 June 2017, Spinoza Lectures, Béatrice Longuenesse

Date & Time: Thursday 8 June 2017, 20:15-22:00
Speaker: Béatrice Longuenesse
Title: Two unlikely bedfellows: Kant and Freud on Morality
Location: Aula, Oude Lutherse kerk, Singel 411, Amsterdam

Abstract:
It is hard to think of two conceptions of morality further apart than those of Kant and Freud. Kant took our moral attitudes to be the highest expression of our capacity to guide our actions by reason. Freud took our moral attitudes to originate in our deepest, earliest emotional bond, the bond we have as helpless infants to the adult figures we experience as nurturing, protecting, or threatening. Nevertheless, both took morality to be deeply connected to our capacity to think and act, as we would say, “in the first person.” In exploring those two seemingly opposed conceptions of morality, the lecture will explore how emotions and reason converge, or as the case may be, diverge in determining our moral attitudes and our capacity to take responsibility for our thoughts and actions.

19 - 30 June 2017, ABC Summer School: The Sleeping Brain

Date: 19 - 30 June 2017
Speaker: ABC Summer School: The Sleeping Brain
Location: Roeterseilandcampus gebouw M, Plantage Muidergracht 12, Amsterdam
Deadline: Monday 1 May 2017

The ABC Summer School is an annual event targeted at master students and PhD candidates. This year's ABC Summer School, organized by Lucia Talamini, Umberto Olcese and Christa van der Heijden on behalf of the research master Brain and Cognitive Sciences, takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of sleep. It will explore the topic from the level of neural networks to that of cognition.

The two-week international Summer School consists of a series of Master Classes, each one given by a renowned expert in the field. In addition, students will work in groups with a designated tutor, on a research project within the broad topic, which they will present towards the end of the Summer School. As the summit of the Summer School, an international symposium “Crossing the watershed between sleep and wakefulness: Information processing during sleep, wakefulness and alternative states of consciousness” will be presented at the final day of the ABC Summer School.
