SUMMARY:CEFISES Seminar: Kevin Kaiser\, "On modelling interdisciplinary research: A empirical philosophy of science approach"
DESCRIPTION:Livestream  https://youtu.be/gc4sZ4dMBgY\n \nSeries: Digital Approaches \nSpeaker: Kevin Kaiser (UCLouvain) \nTitle: “On modelling interdisciplinary research : A empirical philosophy of science approach” \nAbstract \nInterdisciplinary research as an “alternative” approach in science is recently receiving increasing attention both from the scientific and the wider public. The list of discussed advantages over “monodisciplinary” approach is wide and uneven. It ranges from more traditional epistemic aims such has offering a more comprehensive understanding of complex phenomena to more instrumental one such as challenging some monopoly in science (natural science as the template of “good” science\, English as the “lingua franca”\, etc.). Multiple tools (theoretical and empirical) have been proposed the study interdisciplinarity (as well as other X-disciplinary approaches). However\, those tend to fall either in the two following functional categories : conceptual tools (high theoretical content; low applicability) or measurement tools (low theoretical content; high applicability). \nIn this talk\, we will explore how the ongoing debate on (dis)unity in science in philosophy of science can inform a proposition that conserve high theoretical potency without limiting operationalization though empirical tools. An example of such will be given in the linguistico-connectionist account of unity of science and an implementation coupling citations network and text similarity will be given.

SUMMARY:CEFISES Seminar: Maël Lemoine\, "Can the aging of an organism be reduced to the aging of its cells?"
DESCRIPTION:Livestream  https://youtu.be/_VDRWKXHisw\n \nSeries: MolDevBio \nSpeaker: Maël Lemoine (Université de Bordeaux) \nTitle: “Can the aging of an organism be reduced to the aging of its cells?” \nAbstract \nContemporary biogerontology is largely driven by “aging cell reductionism”: the hypothesis that intracellular degradations ultimately explain other aspects of the aging of organisms (typically\, Lopez-Otin 2013). Indeed\, “cell-autonomous” processes are not caused by extrinsic influence of the tissue (e.g.\, by concentration of byproducts of other cells\, alteration of the extracellular matrix\, etc.). The question is whether they really cause all aspects of aging. Experimental research programs generally presuppose it and investigate cell-autonomous processes or admit that non-cell-autonomous processes are derived from them. However\, alternative theories could state that just like a population self-maintains by renewing degraded individuals\, some tissues may self-maintain by renewing degraded cells. I want to develop 3 arguments to establish that some version of this population theory should be accepted by default for evolutionary reasons\, instead of cell reductionism for mainly experimental reasons\, and that the study of “cell-autonomous” processes of aging should be interpreted in the light of a cell-population theory. The first argument revolves around the origin of multicellular organisms in a perpetual population dynamic of colonies of unicellular organisms. The second argument revolves around whether a first layer of mechanisms of cell degradation that are known to exist in similar forms in all eukaryotes\, unicellular and multicellular (Lemoine 2021)\, is likely to cause cumulative damage beyond the cell membrane. The third argument denies the plausibility that some mechanisms of unicellular aging have evolved de novo in the environment of a tissue. \nLemoine\, M. (2021).

SUMMARY:CEFISES Seminar: Stéphanie Ponsar\, "What is a foundation of mathematics?"
DESCRIPTION:Series: Work-in-Progress \nSpeaker: Stéphanie Ponsar (UCLouvain) \nTitle: “What is a foundation of mathematics?” \nAbstract \nThe need for a solid foundation in mathematics emerged at the turn of the 20th century. During this period\, mathematics faced an existential crisis\, partly due to paradoxes in Frege’s formulation of set theory. To address these issues and establish a robust basis for mathematics\, Hilbert proposed a program consisting of 23 problems to be solved. Meanwhile\, Zermelo took on the task of axiomatizing set theory. Today\, the Zermelo-Fraenkel axiomatization is widely accepted as a foundational theory in mathematics. \nWith the rise of category theory\, there is now a diverse range of views among philosophers about what the foundations of mathematics should entail. This analysis will explore the requirements for the foundations of mathematics as they relate to both set theory and category theory. These requirements will be examined from logical\, semantic\, ontological\, and epistemological perspectives. The goal is to highlight the differences between the foundational approaches of set theory and category theory.
