Dear all, This Thursday (4 May), Sarah Sawyer from the University of Sussex will be talking on "Concepts, Conceptions and Self-Knowledge" (abstract below) at the Serious Metaphysics Group, for which the term card is now up: http://www.phil.cam.ac.uk/seminars-phil/SMG
As usual, we will meet in the Faculty Board Room in the Philosophy Faculty from 1-2.30pm. Sarah's presentation will last for 45 minutes, followed by roughly 45 minutes of discussion. Feel free to bring your lunch along. All welcome! Best, Dan. Abstract: The fact that concepts can be grasped incompletely implies a distinction between thoughts and states of mind. This distinction explains how our self-ascriptions can be authoritative and yet subject to behavioural counter-evidence. In this talk, I develop a model of self-knowledge according to which conscious thoughts provide a partial insight into one's states of mind, thus accounting for both authority and self-ignorance. -- Daniel Williams PhD Candidate in Philosophy Email: [email protected] Trinity Hall, Cambridge _____________________________________________________ To unsubscribe from the CamPhilEvents mailing list, or change your membership options, please visit the list information page: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEvents List archive: http://bit.ly/CamPhilEventsArchive Please note that CamPhilEvents doesn't accept email attachments.
