Conference (Philosophy and Psychology) Torino (Italy) July 2003

EUROPEAN SOCIETY FOR PHILOSOPHY AND PSYCHOLOGY

PRELIMINARY CALL FOR PAPERS FOR THE 2003 ANNUAL MEETING TORINO, ITALY,
9-13 JULY 2003

The aim of the Society is "to promote interaction between philosophers and
psychologists on issues of common concern".  Psychologists,
neuroscientists, linguists, computer scientists and biologists are
encouraged to report experimental, theoretical and clinical work that they
judge to have philosophical significance; and philosophers are encouraged
to engage with the fundamental issues addressed by and arising out of such
work. In recent years ESPP sessions have covered such topics as spatial
concepts, simulation theory, attention, reference, problems of
consciousness, emotion, perception, early numerical cognition,
infants'understanding of intentionality, memory and time, motor imagery,
counterfactuals, the semantics/pragmatics distinction, reasoning,
vagueness, mental causation, action and agency, thought without language,
externalism, connectionism, and the interpretation of neuropsychologica
results.
