Thursday Seminar, today -- Frank Jackson

[Joshua Pearson]

Hello everyone, 

Today, the Thursday Seminar warmly welcomes our very own Frank Jackson, who will be presenting at 3.30pm, in the RSSS Auditorium (room 1.28). Title and abstract are below. 

Other events today include: 

• A grads-only pre-talk session with the speaker in room 6.68 at 2:00pm;
  
• Tea in the School of Philosophy tearoom at 3:00pm;
  
• Drinks at Badger & Co at 5:00pm;
  
• No official dinner this week, though everyone is of course more than welcome to order food at Badger or go somewhere after. 

Title: What kind of representationalism has a good chance of being true

Abstract: Representationalism about perceptual experience is conventional wisdom these days. Despite this, some version is likely true, but what version? I discuss this question after a short reminder of why representationalism is so attractive. I end by noting an issue for representationalism that is sometimes overlooked and offer a speculative resolution of it.

Join us for the opportunity to perceptually represent what will surely be a great talk and discussion,

Josh
