Clues to CreativityIn Terry Dartnall (ed.), Artificial Intelligence and Creativity, Springer. pp. 195-208. 1993.To some, the topic of AI and Creativity (like the topic of 'machine thinking') might sound like a contradiction in terms. For creativity in thinking and other activities, as commonly understood, requires us to withdraw the constraints implicit in rules and rational appraisal. But what could be more rational or rule-bound than the model of the mind and cognition on which AI is founded? The implicit connection here, between creativity and 'irrationalism', owes something to Sigmund Freud, who saw c…Read more

Perception and its objectsIn Fred Cummins, Anya Daly, James Jardine & Dermot Moran (eds.), Perception and the Inhuman Gaze: Perspectives from Philosophy, Phenomenology and the Sciences., Routledge. pp. 109-127. 2020.“The Gaze” as a dimension of visual perception focuses attention on the perceived rather than the perceiver, and underlines the idea that the “object” of perception must be understood relationally, and as primarily affective. This contrasts with the Cartesian-derived view based on an underlying separation of subject and object which makes it possible to adopt a “spectator” view of knowledge. This paper explores aspects of the origins and consequences of these contrasting views showing the import…Read more

7Intentionality – Evolution of a ConceptIn Peter Wong, Sherah Bloor, Patrick Hutchings & Purushottama Bilimoria (eds.), Considering Religions, Rights and Bioethics: For Max Charlesworth, Springer Verlag. pp. 139-153. 2019.If there is a common theme through the rich diversity of Max Charlesworth’s academic life and works, it is the quest to understand human action as meaningful, significant and subject to interpretation rather than reducible to the explanatory techniques of positivistic science. This orientation is summed up in the philosophical concept of intentionality. Intentionality is a key notion for continental philosophers whose ideas formed the subject-matter of Max’s legendary course in ‘Contemporary Eur…Read more

1Naturalizing phenomenology – A philosophical imperativeProgress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology 119 (3): 661-669. 2015.Phenomenology since Husserl has always had a problematic relationship with empirical science. In its early articulations, there was Husserl's rejection of ‘the scientific attitude’, Merleau-Ponty's distancing of the scientifically-objectified self, and Heidegger's critique of modern science. These suggest an antipathy to science and to its methods of explaining the natural world. Recent developments in neuroscience have opened new opportunities for an engagement between phenomenology and cog…Read more
