Pozivamo Vas na predavanje profesora Zvonimira Šikića o Simpsonovom paradoksu, koje će se održati u ponedjeljak, 13.3. u vremenu od 11:00 do 12:30 u učionici F-412 na Filozofskom fakultetu u Rijeci. Predavanje organizira Centar za logiku i teoriju odlučivanja pri Filozofskom fakultetu u Rijeci u suradnji s Hrvatskim društvom za analitičku filozofiju.

Večeras u 19.00 sati, preko Zooma, Boran Berčić će održat filozofsku minijaturu na temu uzročnog i etičkog razmatranja. Naslov večerašnjeg predavanja je “Nemoj učiniti istu grešku koju sam i ja učinila!” i bavit će se jednim malim, ali važnim filozofskim problemom.

Ukratko, problem se odnosi na situaciju u kojoj djevojka zatrudni sa 16 godina i odluči roditi dijete. Međutim, zbog nedovoljne podrške obitelji i društva, ne uspije ostvariti svoje ciljeve u životu te požali što je rodila dijete tako rano. Kada njezina kći zatrudni u istoj dobi i odluči roditi, majka joj kaže da ne napravi istu grešku koju je ona napravila.

Ovaj problem otvara mnoga pitanja, poput toga je li majčin savjet uvredljiv prema njezinoj kćeri jer implicira da je njezino postojanje greška, ili je li majka u pravu kada savjetuje kćer da razmisli o svojoj odluci. Ovo pitanje uključuje i uzročno-etička razmatranja, usporedbu mogućih svjetova, asimetriju prošlosti i budućnosti u pogledu nepostojanja te tzv. non-identity problem.

Pridružite nam se večeras u 19.00 sati i razmislite zajedno s nama o ovom intrigantnom filozofskom problemu!

Susret je zamišljen kao poluformalni razgovor te će se odviti preko Zooma:
