Philosophy Talk
Jan. 3rd, 2011 12:02 pmPhilosophy Talk is recording some live shows at the Marsh in Berkeley early this year. FYI in case anyone else is interested.

I'm going to the George Lakoff one, but this one is what made me think some of the localistas might be interested in checking out the series:
3:00pm - Who Dunnit? The Language of Responsibility with Lera Boroditsky. Who is responsible for the broken vase in the foyer? How harshly should criminals be punished for their crimes? Did Justin Timberlake mean to disrobe Janet Jackson during her infamous ‘wardrobe malfunction’ incident? Though you might think that these questions have simple answers, they just got a little more complicated. Cognitive scientists have recently discovered some surprising ways in which the language we use influences how we think about responsibility and agency. Join John, Ken and noted psychologist Lera Boroditsky, as they take a probing look at cross-cultural variations in language of responsibility as they attempt to illustrate the way language shapes thought.
