Consciousness and Subjectivity (2009-2012)
Director: Sofia Miguens
Consciousness and Subjectivity
Consciousness and Subjectivity is a research project whose outcome should be a book edited by Sofia Miguens (Porto) and Gerhard Preyer (Frankfurt).The project of this book started with a common concern about a generalization of a naturalized epistemology stance in current philosophical discussions in analytic philosophy, especially in the philosophy of mind and language. Third person approaches are dominant in the field and the proximity of much philosophical work on mind and language with cognitive science reinforces such orientation. One consequence of such a situation is a blind spot about consciousness and subjectivity. Issues concerning subjectivity are taken to be exhausted when problems regarding the place of consciousness in nature, on the one hand and language and fist-person authority on the other are addressed. That reflects on the conceptions of naturalism and realism/anti-realism developed. The intention of this book is to bring together analytic, or analytically inspired, philosophers working on the continent with English-speaking philosophers to address these issues.
Topics of interest are:
Internalism/externalism debates and problems of self-knowledge
First-person authority and interpretation
Mediated/unmediated knowledge of self
Role of self in foundations of knowledge
Nature and perspective (nature of experience)
Realism/anti-realism
Framework for cognitive science
