WMA Reading Group: Origins of Naturalised IntentionalityS2.84We are pleased to welcome you to the WMA reading group, Origins of Naturalised Intentionality. In this reading group, we will go through five highly influential authors who seek to provide the grounds for a scientific account of mental content (the stuff we think about). The reading is chosen to provide an accessible introduction to the naturalistic approach to mental content. We hope to have a relatively relaxed discussion of the (sometimes controversial) ideas on offer! We will meet in S2.84 on Mondays of even weeks (starting 29/04/24) at 14:00-15:30. The sessions will be led by Johan Heemskerk. Feel free to reach out to Oscar North-Concar or Johan Heemskerk for any further information. The group is open to absolutely everyone, so do come along if you are interested!

Heidegger Reading GroupOnline onlyHeidegger turns Gadamer in this term: You are warmly invited to join the Heidegger Reading Group where we in this term read Hans-Georg Gadamer’s “Truth and Method” (1960). Every Monday, 7.15-8.45 pm, online only. For meeting details and the reading schedule, email fridolin.neumann@warwick.ac.uk. Guided by Haley’s expertise, we will work through the entire book in this term. Gadamer is one of Heidegger's most influential students, not just in philosophy but in the humanities more generally (social thought, medical humanities, law, aesthetics, etc.). By way of outline, Gadamer's text is concerned with defending humanistic truth, and he achieves this by looking at three places this truth shows up in human life: aesthetics, history, and conversation. “Truth and Method” is, then, relevant to those of us concerned with epistemology, aesthetics, history as a philosophical topic (beginning with Kant and Hegel), philosophy of language, and ontology. |
