Announcement Time.

Tomorrow Mohan Matthen
will be presenting a paper called “Sensing and Doing”. The talk will be in the
Philosophy Department at 5.30.

Also tomorrow, a play about robots and
consciousness, “Judy, or what is it like
to be a robot” will be presented at AS220,
in downtown Providence, at 8pm. It costs $7, but it looks kinda
interesting. (The promo I got sent for it had glowing quotes from Dennett and
Hofstadter, which probably tells you something about the line it is taking.)

Finally, Harvey Pitt (yes, that Harvey Pitt) will be speaking
at Brown next week, presenting the Noah Krieger Memorial Lecture. I imagine
the tone will be relatively polite, even respectful, as befits a memorial lecture,
but does not in any way befit Pitt.
