📣NEW paper📣 To date, only humans demonstrate meaning-based, generative communication. However, recent discoveries of combinatorial versatility in chimpanzee + bonobo vocal sequences open the possibility of generative communication in other species.

PHILOSOPHY CHRISTMAS LECTURE 2024

Wednesday 4 December, 5:00 - 7:00 pm
Location: L3 Sciences Concourse

“On Not being Santa”

With
Professor Patrick Tomlin

Abstract:
“If I had made different choices, I could have been Santa Claus. But I’m not. My life would have been better if I had been Santa Claus. Should I regret the fact that I am not Santa Claus? I will argue that I should not. But this requires us to understand the relationship between bad choices and apt regret in a particular way”
