Research seminars, consultations
Compulsory for all doctoral students. All members and lecturers of the doctoral school provide research consultations to students who visit them or who have a supervisor. The teachers of the School do not necessarily organise classes as research seminars, but consult and recommend literature at the request of the students who visit them.
The consultations are not seminars, but they are research seminars. Their research topics are indicated in the doctoral school programme. The completion of the research seminar is indicated by the teacher of choice to the school secretariat at the end of the semester. Some of the research seminars are organised on a weekly basis as seminars.
The following research seminars are announced in Hungarian as seminars. Students who wish to participate in a seminar should email the teacher to indicate their interest:
Wednesday 10h-11.30h
János Boros, Immanuel Kant, The Critique of Judgement
MS Teams
Beáta Laki, Dóra Rippl, Philosophical analysis of artificial intelligence
MS Teams
Recent scientific studies will be examined in the context of the general philosophical context of artificial intelligence, and creative text generation tasks will be explored. The latter aims to provide an AI perspective on philosophical issues such as the definition of the human, the AI phenomenon beyond the algorithm, or the notion of "novelty" beyond technology, by creating imaginary dialogues.
Those interested in the seminar should write directly to Dóra Rippl at the above email address. Appointments will be made later.
