Mark Bedau presents 'Decision Making in Complex and Emerging Systems' - June 19, 2013
by Michelle Saport |
Wednesday, June 19, 4-6 p.m. UAA Campus Bookstore
Mark Bedau has worked extensively on philosophical and scientific issues concerning emergence, evolution, life, mind and the social and ethical implications of creating life from scratch. Because he combines training in analytical philosophy with more than a decade of experience in artificial life, he is internationally recognized as a leader in the development of socially and ethically responsible practices for creating life-like systems. Bedau has been professor of philosophy and humanities at Reed College since 1991 and Editor-in-Chief of the Artificial Life journal since 2000. He holds a doctorate in philosophy from the University of California at Berkeley.
This event is free and open to the public. There is free parking for all UAA Campus Bookstore events in the South Lot, West Campus Central Lot (behind Rasmuson Hall), Sports Center West Lot (between Seawolf drive and the Wells Fargo Sports Complex) and the Sports Center Northwest Lot (east of Seawolf Drive, across from West Campus Central Lot).
