Meeting Description:

Agents and Causes: Interdisciplinary Aspects in Mind, Language and Culture
ZiF Bielefeld, March 21 - 23, 2012
Organization: Albert Newen (Bochum), Anne Springer (Potsdam), Christopher Topp (ZiF) and Markus Werning (Bochum)
http://www.uni-bielefeld.de/%28en%29/ZIF/FG/2011Cognition/events/2012-Agency.html

The workshop is devoted to the question what it means for an agent to be the cause of an action: What is the metaphysics of the agent role in causation? How is this role mentally represented? What are the linguistic structures that express the agent role and how do they vary across languages? What can go wrong in representing the agent role, e.g., in psychiatric disorders? These questions will be discussed by scientists from various disciplines, including Philosophy, Psychology, Neuroscience, Linguistics and Anthropology.

The key topics of the workshop are:

Agency & Free Will
Sense of Agency
Agency & Agentivity in Language
Agency: Cross-Cultural Perspective

Artemis Alexiadou (Linguistics, U Stuttgart), Leon De Bruin (Philosophy, U Bochum), Nicole David (Neuroscience, U Hamburg), Robert Kane (Philosophy, U Texas), James Moore (Neuroscience, U Cambridge), Albert Newen (Philosophy, U Bochum), Elisabeth Pacherié (Cognitive Science, CNRS Paris), Paulo Sousa (Anthropology, Queen's U Belfast), Robert Van Valin (Lingusitics, U Düsseldorf), Martin Voss (Neuroscience, Humboldt U Berlin), Markus Werning (Philosophy, U Bochum), Thomas Widlock, (Anthropology, MPI Nijmegen)
