ENACTING CHANCE – IGNORANCE INSIGHT AND INTUITION
Virtual Workshop at Lorentz Center (Leiden, the Netherlands)
23 August - 27 August 2021
Submission deadline: April 30, 2021
Notification of acceptance: May 21, 2021
This Lorentz week-long workshop will be devoted to discussing
philosophical, psychological, and cognitive aspects of discovering,
exploiting, and generating chance. Key topics for discussion will
beignorance-based reasoning, creativity, insight problem-solving,
serendipity, intuition, and the enactive perspective on cognition. In
addition to the intensive week of the workshop, events will commence
during the summer and interactive materials will be made available for
asynchronous participation. While we are assuming that the event
will likely be fully online, we are taking opportunities for blended
participation and /enacting chance/ wherever possible in the program.
The workshop will be held on Microsoft Teams and participants will
be involved in at least 2 hours per day of academic and social
activities. Participants will be invited to prepare a poster or
other visual presentation of ideas (mind maps and interactive
presentations are welcome) that, together with a brief video or an
audio (under 5 minutes) will be uploaded on this website and will be
used as a topic of discussion in the poster sessions Q&A.
Key questions, although not restricted to these, will be:
- Can we train for chance encounters/ events/ discoveries?
- Is chance an emergent property of particular and intersubjective
circumstances?
- How does an agent shift from a situation of ignorance to one of
discovery or insight?
- When and from what does a deserving hypothesis emerge?
- What epistemic and cognitive conditions can foster intuition?
- Can chance encounters/ events/ discoveries foster cases of epistemic
illusions?
- What is the role of chance encounters/ events/ discoveries in
insightful restructuring?
