Description
This is the 2nd workshop devoted to the topic of Consciousness &
Acquaintance organised by the project 'Representationalism or
Anti-representationalism? Perspectives on intentionality from philosophy
and cognitive science' <http://www.ntnu.no/filosofi/rar>.
Having fallen
out of fashion in philosophy for much of the latter half of the C20th,
the notion of ‘acquaintance’ has recently undergone something of a
revival. As well as being invoked by theorists working in epistemology
and the theory of reference, ‘acquaintance’ has increasingly figured in
recent work on conscious experience. This workshop will aim to explore
some of the different ways that appealing to acquaintance might shed
light on the nature of consciousness, as well as some potential problems
with this notion.
This workshop is free to attend – but please email
