How are concepts like 'reasoning' and 'inference' defined?
#Philosophy has definitions that go way back (e.g., in #epistemology and #PhilMind). Now #computerScience are realizing a need for definitions.
This #openAccess #CS review takes a crack at them: https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2504.15909 (corrected URL)

Adopted and donor-conceived children were way less likely to confound nature and nurture than traditionally-conceived kids (ages 4 to 8).

I'm very happy to share that my manuscript "Cultural variation of emotions and radical relativism" has been accepted for publication in Theory & Psychology. Thanks to the reviewers who helped a lot with this manuscript, and I can't wait to see it in its published form. For now, here's the preprint if you want to check it out.
Had fun talking with my undergraduate students about the nature of intelligence, guided by @dcm.social.sunet.se.ap.brid.gyโs excellent โIntelligent Behaviourโ. #PhilMind #PhilAI
Great to catch up with @attninaction.bsky.social today, who just happened to be visiting Dublin and was kind enough to participate in my graduate seminar where we have been reading his excellent book, Movements of the Mind. #PhilAttention #PhilAction #PhilMind
Iโm always struck when teaching students about representational views of the mind how appealing the idea is, but also how complicated. It relies on a number of sophisticated dialectical moves that arenโt obvious until you try to fill in the details. #Philosophy #PhilMind
