Consciousness and Intentionality. Franz Brentano’s Heritage in Philosophy of Mind

The International Brentano Conference 2013, University of Salzburg, February 7-9 2013

This conference will deal with the multiple intersections between Franz Brentano’s philosophy and contemporary philosophy of mind, taking into consideration issues related to – among others – Brentano’s psychology, ontology, and theory of knowledge. Questions to be addressed may include – but are not limited to – phenomenal intentionality, internalism, non-conceptual content, disjunctivism, cognitive (and affective) phenomenology, self-awareness and time-consciousness. Contributions may take various angles: they may address for instance Brentano’s conception of the mental from a critical, historical and/or exegetical perspective, or they may propose original accounts of intentionality and consciousness inspired by – or critical of – Brentano’s insights on that matter.

Please send an abstract (max. 1000 words) before December 7 using Easychair.
