《北大哲学研讨》的目的是为学生提供与国际顶尖哲学学者近距离学习的机会，重点关注该学者目前正在进行的前沿研究。学生们会参与到受邀学者的选择过程中，作为一个团体，他们可以共同决定邀请谁。这种基本设置旨在营造一个令人兴奋且有效的学习环境，让访问学者和学生都能最大限度地投入到课程内容中。通过这种方式，学生将得到精心的指导，从理论和实践两方面理解哲学领域中世界领先的前沿研究的内容和方法。
结合项目负责人的预备研讨会，学生将一起研究访问学者工作的选定方面，并各自撰写简短的讨论文章——每篇约 1,500 字——重点关注他们认为特别有趣的元素。这些短文将在访问学者访问前与访问学者分享。访问学者将以公开授课开始，其中包括学生讨论环节。随后，将举行为期两天的研讨会，围绕访问学者对学生论文和报告的口头回应展开。
第一届《北大哲学研讨》的访问学者是多伦多大学的 Jennifer Nagel 教授。她将分享其即将出版的书稿《识别知识：直觉与反思的认识论》（与牛津大学出版社签约）中的材料。该书呈现了哲学与心理学领域的新跨学科研究，探讨了人类追踪他人所知与所不知的卓越能力。这种能力指导我们在日常社会中的行动，并为认识论提供直觉判断作为原始数据，判断各种可能的知识案例。多年来，哲学家、心理学家和社会学家发现了各种跨文化稳健的认识直觉模式，这些模式虽然在系统性上极具吸引力，但往往又带有令人困惑的悖论性。内格尔教授的课程将探讨我们探测知识能力的自然起源和功能，寻找更好地分析认识论数据的方法，并最终揭示关于知识本身更清晰的理解。 |

The objective of the PKU Philosophy Colloquium is to provide students with an opportunity to study closely together with an international top scholar in philosophy, with a focus on the cutting-edge research that the scholar is currently undertaking. Students are consulted on the selection of scholars that will be invited; as a group they can choose whom to invite. This basic setting is intended to facilitate an exciting and effective learning environment, in which both the visiting scholar and the students can be maximally enthusiastic about the contents of the course. In this way, the students will be carefully guided to both a theoretical and a practical understanding of the contents and methods of world-leading cutting-edge research in philosophy.
In conjunction with preparatory seminars taught by the project leader, the students will study selected aspects of the visiting scholar’s work together and each compose short discussion pieces – approximately 1,500 words each – focusing on elements they find especially intriguing. These short essays will be shared with the visiting scholar in advance of their visit. The visiting scholar will begin the visit by giving public lectures including time for student discussion. Subsequently, there will be a two-day colloquium revolving around the visiting scholar’s oral responses to student essays and presentations.
The visiting scholar for the 1st PKU Philosophy Colloquium is Prof. Jennifer Nagel of the University of Toronto. She will share material from her advanced book manuscript ‘Recognizing Knowledge: Intuitive and Reflective Epistemology’ (under contract with Oxford University Press). The book presents new interdisciplinary research in philosophy and psychology concerning humans’ remarkable capacity to track what others do and do not know. This capacity guides us in everyday social navigation. It also provides raw data to epistemology, in the form of intuitive judgments about possible cases of knowledge. Over the years, philosophers, psychologists, and sociologists have discovered a variety of cross-culturally robust patterns of epistemic intuition, patterns that are attractively systematic, but often disturbingly paradoxical. Prof. Nagel’s course will examine the natural origins and functions of our capacity to detect knowledge, in search of a better analysis of the data guiding epistemology, and ultimately a clearer view of knowledge itself. |
