Philosophy Postgrad Work-In-Progress Seminar Raamy Majeed, "Representationalism without Experiential Deflationism or Ontological Inflationism"
Monday the 2nd of November, Philosophy Common Room ABSTRACT: Usually when we attempt to account for the phenomenal character of our experiences, we either end up denying that our experiences have a phenomenal character and we thereby become deflationists about experiences or we end up granting that our experiences have a phenomenal character at the expense of committing to nonphysical properties. Representationalists however can offer us a novel way to deal with the phenomenal character of experience that avoids both experiential deflationism and a commitment to nonphysical properties. In this paper I explain how representationalists can do this and I also explain why this option is currently unavailable to us. Everyone is welcome to attend. If you would like to present or require further information, please contact Nick Malpas at [email protected]. The format is 30 minutes for presentations followed by 1 hour of discussion. Since the primary aim of this seminar is to generate discussion, presentations need not be particularly polished or formal. _______________________________________________ SydPhil mailing list: http://sydphil.info 885 subscribers now served.
