Talk on computational explanation at the ISPSM web conference

Dr. Matej Kohar

Matej gave a talk at the 2nd Annual Web Conference of the International Society for the Philosophy of the Sciences of the Mind on 18th October 2024.


The talk is titled "Mechanistic computational explanation without metaphysics" and in it, Matej proposes a new account of computational explanation based on the contrastive account of mechanistic explanation he defended in an earlier paper with Beate and in his 2023 book.


A great advantage of this new account is that it makes mechanistic computational explanation independent of the mechanistic account of physical computation, and of any metaphysical commitments regarding which systems compute and which do not.


Here is a LINK to the conference website.

The conference continues on 25th and 26th October with more keynotes and section talks.
