CIN Games of the Brain Workshop
Perspectives on Introspection and Self-Knowledge: a Workshop with Alex Byrne
July 3-4, 2014
University of Tuebingen
**************************************************
Alex Byrne (MIT) has made substantial and influential contributions to the
philosophical debate concerning the nature of introspection, the peculiar
and privileged access we have to our own mental states. Having defended an
inferential account of introspection across several different mental
states, including belief, desire, thought, intention, and perceptual
experience, he has been developing a unified account of introspection
across all accessible mental states. Alex Byrne is visiting the CIN
Philosophy of Neuroscience Group and the Philosophisches Seminar,
University of Tbingen, for a two-day workshop (3-4 July) to discuss his
views on the nature of introspection, transparency, and self-knowledge.
