Conference
Aim and Scope:
David
Rosenthal’s theories of higher-order thought and mental qualities have
contributed greatly to the development of a comprehensive theory of
consciousness that spans both science and philosophy. The aim of this
conference is to present and discuss new, philosophical or scientific work on
matters relevant to higher-order thought, mental qualities, and this
distinctive theory of conscious experience. Already confirmed speakers
include scholars and scientists from North America, Europe, and Asia. We
will be allowing ample time for discussion of each talk, and warmly welcome
participation in these discussions by philosophers, scientists and others with
a keen interest in theories of consciousness or related issues.
