"Symposium on Cognitive Science and Philosophy" April 8, 2010

For our first meeting of April, Phoenix Objectivists will listen to a pre-recorded panel discussion that was part of The Atlas Society's line up of topics for their 2006 Summer Seminar.

Speakers for this are Dr. David Kelley, Walter Donway and Dr. Jay Friedenberg.

The discussions will outline the new interdisciplinary scientific study of mind known as Cognitive Science.

Cognitive Science encompasses a broad array of different perspectives including philosophy, psychology, cognition, neuroscience, evolution, artificial intelligence, and robotics.

Although these disciplines have different methodologies and theoretical orientations, they are united in their goal to understand the mystery of mind.

All three panelists will bring their distinctive expertise as a researcher, an editor of the scholarly literature, and a philosopher to bear on the fascinating problem of integrating the findings of this burgeoning area of science with the general principles of Objectivism.

Running time for the speech is about 70 minutes. After we are finished, we will discuss the issues brought up in it.

**NOTE** Attendees to this event must buy something to eat or drink.
