Philosophy of Language Seminar
Section Info:
Philosophy of Language - Seminar This seminar will be on questions in the philosophy of perception, especially concerning the idea that in perception we are presented with sense-data distinct from material objects. What support is there for this position? Does it have intolerable skeptical consequences? If it is false, then how else should we understand perception? We’ll begin by working carefully through J. L. Austin’s Sense and Sensibilia and then read important papers by G. E. M. Anscombe, Charles Travis, John McDowell, and possibly some others.
