Subject: InPhO for Philosophers
FWD:
November, 2008: The Indiana Philosophy Ontology project (InPhO) is pleased to announce the release of the beta version of its Taxonomy Browser at http://inpho.cogs.indiana.edu/taxonomy/. This web-based service provides a simple navigation scheme for investigating related philosophical concepts, and provides an easy single-click interface for conducting focused searches on philosophical topics at the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, Noesis, Google Scholar, and the entire web via Google. We welcome comments and feedback on improving this interface at inpho@indiana.edu.
The InPhO project also requests YOUR help. By answering some simple questions about the ideas in the InPhO taxonomy and about key philosophical thinkers, you can help us verify and refine the software that is used to build the InPhO. This will assist our ongoing development of new tools for representing philosophy, including a "thinker" browser and visualization tools for exploring the networks formed by ideas and thinkers.
Request an account through the "myinpho" link at either the taxonomy browser page or on the top level page athttp://inpho.cogs.indiana.edu/. You'll be helping to create the most powerful and useful database of information about philosophy and philosophers anywhere.
Please forward this message to lists frequented by philosophy students and faculty, link us to your philosophy blogs and websites, and download and post the flyer that can be found at http://inpho.cogs.indiana.edu/flyer.pdf
The Indiana Philosophy Ontology Project has been built with the support of Indiana University and the National Endowment for the Humanities.* We are committed to providing open access to its data and web interfaces. We welcome ideas for collaborative projects.

Joint Attention: Developments in Philosophy of Mind,
Developmental and Comparative Psychology, and Cognitive Science
October 1 – 3, 2009
Bentley University, Greater Boston
The past two decades have seen an increasing interest in the topic of joint attention, the cognitive capacity of two or more subjects (human or nonhuman primates) to focus on the same object while being mutually aware of sharing this focus. The investigation of this capacity is of interest for philosophers of mind, developmental and comparative psychologists, and social neuroscientists alike. Questions that arise in the context of the study of joint attention include:
· What is the role of feelings and emotions in the acquisition of a joint perspective?
· What is the relation between episodes of mutual attention and the capacity to jointly attend to objects?
· What can we learn about joint attention from persons with autism?
· What relevance does the capacity to jointly attend to objects with others have for a subject’s referential and communicative capacities?
· Is joint attention an acquired skill?
· What is the role of pointing in concept acquisition?
· What is the function of visuomotor representations in joint attention?
· What role do mirroring systems play in joint attention?
· Ought we to conceive of joint attention in the triadic terms of a representationalist account of perception?
· Do episodes of joint attention require the deployment of a theory of mind?
· Is self- and other- awareness a precondition of the capacity for joint attention?
· What can joint attention research tell us about collective action?
· Can one understand acts of pointing in terms of the construction of narrative?
The conference aims at discussing these and related questions in an interdisciplinary setting. We are honoured to have a number of distinguished invited speakers (in alphabetical order):
· Kim Bard, Director of the Centre for the Study of Emotion and Reader in Comparative Developmental Psychology, University of Portsmouth
· John Campbell, Willis S. and Marion Slusser Professor of Philosophy, University of California at Berkeley

· William Hopkins, Associate Professor of Psychology, Agnes Scott College, and Research Associate in the Division of Psychobiology, Yerkes National Primate Research Center
· Daniel Hutto, Professor of Philosophical Psychology, University of Hertfordshire
· David Leavens, Senior Lecturer in Psychology, University of Sussex
· Andrew Meltzoff, Professor of Psychology, University of Washington, and
Co-director, UW Institute for Learning and Brain Sciences
