This afternoon I’m heading over to the Harvard Medical School in Longwood to attend a symposium exploring the neuroscientific and philosphical aspects of Consciousness. The speakers are Dan Dennett from Tufts (my PhilOfMind prof), Patrick Haggard from UCL, Ned Block of NYU, and Chris Koch from CalTech. I’ve read enough of Dennett, Block and Koch to know that they’re pretty far apart on many issues, so it should be “stimulating”!
