Lacan/Zizek and Computer Programming Choice

[wv watson]

Hello all,

I gave a talk about Lacan / Zizek and computer programming choice at South By Southwest this year.  It's been awhile since I posted in this group but I thought you all would appreciate it.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing it here. There has not been a lot of activities in this group recently :)

My turn to share a conference paper, about speculative realism (Quentin Meillassoux) and the so-called replacement of the scientific method by big data

And a request for help : I am looking for contemporary philosophers working on artificial intelligence - apart from the transhumanists (Kurzweil, Bostrom, Chandlers....). Any recommendations?

Well, Daniel Dennett and John Searle are still active.

[Mike Travers]

This is 20 years old and the author is no longer active, but chasing the references from here (esp Dreyfus and Brian Smith) would not be a bad place to start: http://polaris.gseis.ucla.edu/pagre/shr.html

How is Dreyfus doing? I was lucky to see him lecture once. That was so long ago :)

David Chalmers
Douglas Hofstradter

Hm... I'm wondering what Douglas Hofstadter would think of being considered a philosopher.

Let's not forget Steven Pinker.

Well Hofstadter definitely comments enough on philosophy of the mind to be considered a critic.
