C -MLAG VI – Encounters With Oneself
Projecto The Bounds of Judgement – Frege, cognitive agents and human thinkers (PTDC/FIL-FIL/109882/2009)
What shape can our access to the inner take? Can inner experience ever
be an object of judgement? Or should we rather think of inner experience in
terms of qualia? What, if anything, is wrong with the perceptual model of
introspection? And if introspecting is not perceiving, can thinking about
perception give us ideas to think about the conditions in which we access
ourselves? How does the Frege-Wittgenstein case against idealism bear on
conceptions of inner experience? Starting from such questions we also want to
explore ways conceptions of the first person reflect on approaches to nature of
action and morality.
