GENERAL INFORMATION
(This Call for Participation, along with related information, can
also be viewed at http://www.lehigh.edu/~interact/isi2001.html).
It's happening: research threads in multiple fields scattered across
the mind-sciences seem to be converging towards a point where the
classical treatment of representation within the encodingist
framework is felt as an impasse. A rethinking of the methods,
concepts, arguments, facts, etc. is needed and, so it seems, is being
found in the interactivist approach. From research in human
cognition, motivation, and development, through consciousness,
sociality, and language, to artificial intelligence, post-behaviorist
cognitive robotics, and interface design, we are witnessing the
appearance of projects where the assumptions of interactivism are
embraced. More often then not, this is in an implicit manner, so that
at a superficial level those projects (the problems they deal with,
the methods they use) seem to be incommensurable. However,
underneath, one can feel their interactivist gist. The time is right
(and ripe) we felt, to articulate this "irrational" (in Feyerabendian
sense) pressure for change at a programmatic level, and this is what
we want to accomplish with the present workshop. The workshop will be
preceded by a Summer School in Interactivism featuring several
tutorials which are meant to provide the needed theoretical
background, based mainly on Mark Bickhard and his collaborators'
work. The intention is for this Institute to become a traditional
annual meeting where those sharing the core ideas of interactivism
will meet and discuss their work, try to reconstruct its historical
roots, put forward current research in different fields that fits the
interactivist framework, and define research topics for prospective
graduate students. People working in philosophy of mind, linguistics,
social sciences, artificial intelligence, cognitive robotics, and
other fields related to the sciences of mind are invited to send
their statement of interest for participation to the organizers (see
details below).
