Graduate Workshops in the Humanities and Social Sciences

Philosophy of Mind

The aim of this workshop is to serve as a focal point for research and discussion in the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of psychology. We will pursue this aim in three ways: (1) by providing a forum in which graduate students present and receive feedback on their own work; (2) by discussing important recent texts by such authors as Andy Clark, Gareth Evans, John McDowell, Jerry Fodor, and Hilary Putnam; and (3) by hosting a series of presentations by prominent philosophers of mind, psychologists, and specialists in related fields. Likely topics of conversation include self-knowledge, consciousness, mental causaation, and concept development.
