L.A. Paul (Yale University): Transformative Experience
It’s an honor and a pleasure to host Prof. L.A. Paul to present the Rudolf-Carnap Lectures at Ruhr-Uni Bochum. She is Millstone Family Professor of Philosophy and Professor of Cognitive Science at Yale University. Her book Transformative Experience (OUP 2014) initiated a whole new philosophical research program, including an entry in the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (Chan 2023). She is also the author of Causation: A User’s Guide (with Ned Hall, OUP 2013) and numerous scientific papers on topics such as subjectivity, phenomenal feel, self, and empathy, and on topics in metaphysics including causation and material constitution. Her recent work engages with knowledge in Large Language Models as well. We are excited that her Carnap Lectures will feature her new forthcoming work on Transformative Experience, always accompanied by a workshop.
