Immediate Self-Reference and the Mental

3 lectures by Prof. Dr. Gerhard Preyer
Goethe Universität Frankfurt 

Faculdade de Letras da Universidade do Porto
8, 9 and 11 November 2011

The lectures are part of the Porto-Frankfurt (2008-2011) Project on Consciousness and Subjectivity  (Porto PI: Sofia Miguens; Frankfurt PI: Gerhard Preyer) and will take place partly in the context of MLAG GRADUATE CONFERENCE 2011 (organized by Rui Vieira da Cunha and Clara Morando).

Program:

1st lecture: Externalism and the mental.

Gabinete 118 - 14 h

Externalism does not offer an adequate conception of the mental. In particular externalism does not allow for an adequate understanding of first person authority.

2nd lecture: Immediate non-conceptual self-reference and the mental.

Gabinete 118 - 14 h

The immediate non-conceptual self-reference as basic-feature of the mental. First-order, second-order thought, and transitivity. Higher-order-thought theories and transitivity do not allow for a correct characterization of the mental.

3rd lecture: Properties of the mental.

Anfiteatro A2 - 14 h
