PHILOSOPHY OF SCIENCE Dear HP The next in the HPS Research Seminar Series will be: Zoe Drayson Australian National University "On personal and subpersonal states." Explanations of human behaviour appeal to a wide variety of states: beliefs and desires, sensations and emotions, computational algorithms and subsystems, neuronal action potentials and spike rates. It is common to find such states classified in the literature as either 'personal level states' or 'subpersonal level states', but this distinction is rarely elucidated. I argue that there are two separate versions of the personal/subpersonal distinction, and that states deemed subpersonal by one version can be classified as personal states on the other version. I highlight the difficulties that arise when the two distinctions become confused, using Bermudez's (2003) discussion of reflexive thought as an example.
