The VLC Philosophy Lab is pleased to announce the workshop Sharing Thoughts. The workshop will be held online via Zoom from 17 to 19 September 2021.
Description
It is a familiar idea that an adequate account of thought and its constituent concepts—as well as mental content and meaning more generally—must allow them to be suitably public or shareable. However, while it is fair to take one form or other of this shareability constraint to be hailed by a majority of philosophers, significant unclarity remains about how exactly we should understand shareability and intersubjectivity; the scope it must have in our accounts; and how it sits with other important constraints involved in the communication and coordination of thoughts and concepts.
This workshop will bring together an exceptional roster of authors to discuss the newest philosophical perspectives on this set of issues. The speakers will present versions of the material to be contributed to an edited volume, under contract with Oxford University Press.
