We will be running the Mind & Perception Reading Group this fall. We’ll meet Mondays from 12 to 1:30 in the lounge. The readings will be drawn from contemporary articles on perception, attention, singular thought and the relation between them (broadly construed). We begin this coming Monday, the 17th. The first paper will be Chalmers’ “Perception and the Fall from Eden”. Further readings will be determined as we go, based on interest in the groups.
