Sensible Individuation Umrao Sethi (CUNY) 12 June, 11:00 (Angevin Room, Queens’ College) Abstract: In this talk, I consider the question of how to individuate property instances, with an eye to solving some central problems in the philosophy of perception. The argument from hallucination has led most philosophers to conclude that if we offer a sense-datum analysis of delusive perceptions, we are forced to say that in all cases, perception only makes us aware of mind-dependent entities. To the contrary, I argue that once we have the right view of property-instance individuation, the argument from hallucination poses no threat to a naive view of ordinary perception, according to which perception makes us aware of mind-independent objects and their properties.
