Oct 4: The Representational Theory of Consciousness

Consciousness is one of the most baffling aspects of the natural world. In this P4L, we'll look at a relatively recent addition to theories of consciousness: representationalism. Specifically, we will try to get clear on what representationalism is and why one might think it is true.

When?  
11:45 AM–12:45 PM

Where?  
Schmitt Hall, Room 104

What is P4L?
Students and professors close-read and discuss a few great passages of philosophy.

Who's invited?
No preparation or previous knowledge of philosophy is needed. Everyone is welcome!

Should I bring anything?
Bring a beverage, and if you're hungry, bring your actual lunch.
