Please send any questions to</p>\n<p>thesensescuny@gmail.com.</p>\n<p>The Theme:</p>\n<p>The senses play a crucial and pervasive role in both our everyday experience and&nbsp\;in debates across diverse areas of philosophy. These include perceptual and cognitive&nbsp\;architecture\, consciousness\, aesthetics\, and epistemology\, among others. Philosophers&nbsp\;who have dealt with the topic of the senses range from Aristotle to Moore to Grice to&nbsp\;McDowell\, yet many issues still remain to be explored. The following questions are&nbsp\;offered as suggestions for contributions:</p>\n<p>&bull\; How should we individuate the senses? Is there a clear distinction between&nbsp\;perception and cognition? If so\, how should we draw the line?</p>\n<p>&bull\; What is the nature of the contents of sensory experience (rich or sparse\,&nbsp\;conceptual or non-conceptual\, representational or not)?</p>\n<p>&bull\; To what extent are the sensory modalities made up of informationally&nbsp\;encapsulated\, domain-specific modules? To what extent do sensory states interact&nbsp\;with each other and with cognitive states like beliefs\, desires\, fears\, and moods?</p>\n<p>&bull\; Is vision different from the other senses in a fundamental way? If so\, what are the&nbsp\;implications of this difference for theories of perception\, content\, and&nbsp\;justification?</p>\n<p>&bull\; What is distinctive about the bodily senses\, such as proprioception and&nbsp\;interoception? Do they enable agentive awareness\, and if so\, how?</p>\n<p>&bull\; Does sensory experience have a privileged epistemological role? Do experiences&nbsp\;provide justification in virtue of their phenomenology or in virtue of the detection&nbsp\;capacities they endow?</p>\n<p>&bull\; How do the senses function in the perception and appreciation of art\, and can&nbsp\;features of this role help us to define and characterize aesthetic experience?</p>\n<p>We will give preference to submissions on the topic of the senses\, but we will consider&nbsp\;submissions in any area of philosophy. We encourage submissions that engage empirical&nbsp\;research\, especially in neuroscience and psychology. Please send the following to&nbsp\;thesensecuny@gmail.com in two separate documents\, in either .doc or .pdf format</p>\n<p>1) A cover letter including the author&rsquo\;s name\, university affiliation\, contact&nbsp\;information\, title of paper\, topic area\, word count\, and an abstract of no more than&nbsp\;250 words.</p>\n<p>2) A paper prepared for blind review. Submissions should not exceed 4\,000 words&nbsp\;and should be suitable for a 40-minute presentation.</p>\n
