From the new issue:

A Pluralist Perspective on Shape Constancy
– E J Green

Abstract in alt text or read it here:
www.journals.uchicago.edu/doi/10.1086/...

#philsci #philsky

ABSTRACT. The ability to perceive the shapes of things as enduring through changes in how they stimulate our sense organs is vital to our sense of stability in the world. But what sort of capacity is shape constancy and how is it reflected in perceptual experience? I defend a pluralist account of shape constancy: there are multiple kinds of shape constancy centred on geometrical properties at various levels of abstraction, and properties at these levels feature in the content of perceptual experience, governing patterns of apparent shape similarity. I propose that the varieties of shape constancy are subserved by the syntactic complexity of perceptual shape representations. By assigning discrete constituents to various abstract shape parameters, these representations attune us to the preservation of certain abstract shape properties through changes in more determinate shape properties. Finally, I draw broader lessons concerning the nature and function of perceptual constancy.

🗣️ COLLOQUIUM!

🎶 Contemporary Music Notation: What, and Who, Is It For? With Gabriel Rabin (NYU Abu Dhabi & NYU) 🎼

📍 Tues, 22.09
⏰️ 3:40 pm

The obvious answer is that the system is for representing music. I will argue that this answer is woefully incomplete.

People do extraordinary things without being extraordinary people. Kyle Fruh takes that seriously rather than explaining it away. Bryan Smyth reviews 'Moral Heroism without Virtue'. Read it here: buff.ly/1i2T2U4 #PhilSky #BookReview

I wish to one day (soon!) wake up in a world that is both rational and compassionate...
But perhaps there's something wrong with me in imagining this? I might be the only one... 😢

I wish to one day (soon!) wake up in a world that is both rational and compassionate. People work only as much as they have to for satisfying the basic requirements of life, with some allowance for minor extras that never reach the insensitiveness of luxury. A world of wise, polyamorous vegetarians that deeply respect the solitude of each person when apart from the crowd. Each person's own free time is abundant and considered sacred. A world of non-smokers that also eliminated excess production, as well as redundant commuting, in favor of generous parks and green spaces which easily and quickly connect each person with the fairly allocated vocation-job. Where public canteens serve truly organic dishes to a harmonious collectivity, removing the burden on each individual's own shopping, cooking and garbage disposal. Where medical science truly does not neglect even the most unfortunate members of society, who are never homeless, not even close, never lacking the basic requirements of life... Oh, I wish... Is that too much to ask?...
