KOLUMNE in der NZZ: In den Diskussionen an den Unis hört man heute vermehrt eine neue Sprache: Vanilla. 👉 Reden Sie noch selbst, oder sprechen Sie schon Vanilla? Die künstliche Intelligenz wird menschlicher werden. Dachte man. Aber ... ✅ Wer der jungen Generation zuhört, könnte auf die Idee kommen, dass es eher umgekehrt läuft. ✅ Wie ein Soziologe von unserem Institut beim Korrigieren schriftlicher Arbeiten von Studierenden wiederholt auf Passagen von belanglosem Wohlklang stiess. Es war die Wissenschaftssprache von Chat-GPT. ✅ Und wie beim Co-Unterrichten von zwei Dozierenden vor ein paar Wochen beim Unterrichten an der Universität eine skurrile Szene entstand, die nur mit der neuen Sprache Vanilla erklärbar wurde.

INVITATION to RESEARCH TALK by Guest professor Dan Zahavi, University of Copenhagen (online): 7th of March 2024 at 15:15 – 16:45   👉 Topic: Gesellschaft/Society: "We, you, and I." On the lecture: During the past few decades, collective intentionality has been intensively explored in various disciplines including social, cognitive and developmental psychology, economics, sociology, political theory, anthropology, ethology, and the social neurosciences. ✔️ Much of the empirical work in these areas has drawn inspiration from and relied on the theoretical analyses of a handful of analytic philosophers, notably Searle, Bratman, Gilbert, and Tuomela, whose work have often gravitated around the question of whether and how collective intentions differ from aggregations of individual intentions. ✔️ Whereas the contemporary debate on collective intentionality in analytic philosophy has lasted a few decades, questions concerning the nature of we, and the relation between self, intersubjectivity, and community are obviously far older. We can find a particular rich discussion of these topics in early phenomenology. ✔️ Indeed, while starting out with an interest in the individual mind, phenomenologists began their exploration of dyadic forms of interpersonal relations shortly before the start of World War I and were already deeply engaged in extensive analyses of collective forms of intentionality a few years later. 👉 In my talk, I will present some core insights from this early debate, and in particular look at the contributions of Husserl, Walther, and Schutz. #Philosophy #Sociology #Mind #Phenomenology #Self #consciousness #Intersubjectivity #Sociality #Identity, #science #hsg
