Philosophy of Mind Workshop: I Take A Stance; There is a World
http://mindworkshop.blogspot.com/2009/06/i-take-stance-there-is-world.html
Sunday, June 21, 2009. I Take A Stance; There is a World. A provocative argument discussed during Zed Adams's. Recent presentation to the Mind Workshop, "Color Relativism". Posted by Nat Hansen. Please note that this argument pretty clearly presupposes an I that is a transcendental subject, that is not itself part of the world. Among other things, one might worry about that part of the argument. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. 2006-2007) David Velleman, Self to Self.

http://mindworkshop.blogspot.com/2005/11/making-it-explicit-chapter-one-part-vi.html
Wednesday, November 09, 2005. Making It Explicit, Chapter One (part VI) and Chapter Two (parts I-III). Tonight the workshop met in Cobb 103 to discuss the last part of chapter one and the first three parts of chapter two of Brandom's Making It Explicit. David F. wasn't at the workshop tonight because he was sick, but Jason B. did an admirable job steering the workshop in the direction of the truth. Or at least the truth about Brandom. On the face of it, this looks paradoxical. Surely no (or very few) con...

Thursday, October 27, 2005. Making It Explicit, Chapter One. Last night the workshop met to discuss chapter one of Brandom's. David F. opened the workshop with a story from his grad student days at Pitt. It involved Brandom stroking his beard and lecturing about his account of who. Are in terms of saying 'we', and a Monty Python based pun. David then suggested three broad ways of approaching intentionality that differ from Brandom's approach:. 3) Naive acceptance (after suitable therapy, presumably).
