On Being Abstract
Pete Mandik
 (William Patterson University)

In this session, Mandik will expand on his idea that persons are abstract things. To do this, he will discuss recent philosophical issues about personal identity, mind-uploading, and whether you could upload your mind to a piece of technology and survive.

5:30PM, Schmitt 104

This event is also a Graduation Celebration for Philosophy seniors!
