DESCRIPTION:<p>Few topics in the philosophy of perception have received more diverse scholarly attention than Molyneux&rsquo\;s question:&nbsp\;<em>would&nbsp\;</em><em>a person with blindness\, able to identify cubes and spheres by touch\, immediately identify these shapes by sight alone if suddenly able to see?&nbsp\;</em>While many studies on Molyneux&rsquo\;s question attempt to resolve the puzzle\, this special issue also asks for contributions that utilize Molyneux&rsquo\;s question to both clarify and criticize accounts of sensory perception\, epistemology\, mind\, and metaphysics.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>Themes Include:</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>How might reinterpreting past answers\, such as those by Locke or Berkeley\, result in novel ways of understanding Molyneux&rsquo\;s question today and the relation between the senses?</li>\n<li>How do recent accounts of olfaction\, touch\, etc. relate to Molyneux&rsquo\;s question? Can the question illuminate these debates today?</li>\n<li>How does Molyneux&rsquo\;s question relate to the claim that perception has a multisensory character\, producing experiences unique to those from single modalities?</li>\n<li>How do different theories of consciousness constrain an answer to Molyneux&rsquo\;s question?</li>\n<li>Can a predictive processing approach suggest an answer to the question\, or a novel way of addressing it?</li>\n<li>Can 4E approaches to cognition explain the problem of Molyneux under a new light?</li>\n<li>Can Molyneux&rsquo\;s question be retold with non-human robotic devices and their embodied grasping models?</li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Deadlines And Dates of Publication</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Abstract Submission Deadline (500 Words + Bibliography): 15 November 2023</li>\n<li>Notification of Abstract Acceptance (Editors review): 15 December 2023</li>\n<li>Manuscript Submission Deadline: 15 May 2024</li>\n<li>Reviews (2 blind reviews + Editors review) of Article Deadline: 15 August 2024</li>\n<li>Revised Manuscript Submission including Guest Editors&rsquo\; Introduction: 1 October 2024</li>\n<li>Publication Date: 4th&nbsp\;Quarter of 2024</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Please\, send your abstract by 15 November 2023 to:&nbsp\;molyneux@phimisci.org</p>\n<p>-Gabriele Ferretti &amp\; Brian Glenney (eds.)</p>\n<p>For more information\, please click on the link below:</p>
