Neurosemantics (NS)

The idea of the group is to discuss recent and/or important work
on neurosemantics (basically, theoretical work on the intentional
content of brain states), but also on neighboring topics in
empirically-informed philosophy of mind.



 

The final list of planned readings will be agreed upon among the participants in the group. Papers that we may want to read include:

 

Peter Mandik (2003). “Varieties of representation in evolved and embodied
neural networks”, Biology and Philosophy, 18: 95–130.




Rosa Cao (2012). “A Teleosemantic Approach to Information in the Brain”, Biology and Philosophy, 27 (1): 49–71.

 

Jakob Hohwy (2014). The Predictive Mind (chapter 8)

 

Dan Ryder (2004) “SINBAD Neurosemantics: A theory of mental representation”, Mind and Language, 19 (2): 211–240.
