DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Date:</strong> November 16th\, 2022 - 11am China Standard Time</p>\n\n<p><strong>Speaker:</strong> Professor Brian L. Keeley\, Pitzer College (US)</p>\n\n<p><strong>Title:</strong> Auto-experimentation: Essential\, foolhardy\, or both?</p>\n\n<p><strong>Abstract:</strong>&nbsp\;In the history of science\, scientists have sometimes chosen to perform experiments upon themselves. In jurisprudence\, it&rsquo\;s famously said that &ldquo\;If you are your own lawyer\, you have a fool for a client.&rdquo\; Is something parallel true of scientific investigators? The large number of Nobel Prizes in science awarded to work involving auto-experimentation would suggest not. But what are the epistemic features of auto-experimentation? When is it good practice and what are the potential (epistemic) dangers? In this talk\, I will draw lessons from a variety of cases\, but concentrate on those from medicine and the neurosciences.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Bio:</strong>&nbsp\;Brian L. Keeley is Professor of Philosophy at Pitzer College in Claremont\, California\, where he also teaches in the Science\, Technology &amp\; Society\, Cognitive Science\, and Neuroscience Programs. With research interests in both neurophilosophy and the study of conspiracy theories\, he has edited a volume in the Cambridge University Press Contemporary Philosophy in Focus series on the work of Paul Churchland. He has also published over 40 articles\, book chapters\, and reviews on a range of topics including the philosophy of neuroscience\, the nature of the senses\, neuroethology\, artificial life\, the relationship of science to society\, and the unusual epistemology of contemporary conspiracy theories.</p>\n\n<p><strong>Zoom ID:</strong> 83103204690</p>\n\n<p><strong>Zoom link:</strong> https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83103204690</p>\n\n<p><strong>Password:</strong> 508487</p>
