Recently there has been increasing interest worldwide in how the &lsquo\;Pittsburgh School of Philosophy&rsquo\;\, which builds on Wilfrid Sellars&rsquo\; rich body of philosophical writings\, can bring fresh perspectives to epistemology and philosophy of mind. Sellars&rsquo\; searching philosophical analysis of &lsquo\;experience&rsquo\; in works such as Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind has been used to unite and enrich discussions in traditionally experience-focussed philosophical traditions such as phenomenology and pragmatism. Meanwhile\, Sellars&rsquo\; distinctive scientific naturalism has birthed new empirically-informed theories of mind in his students Ruth Millikan and Paul Churchland.  \;

\n

Carl \;Sachs&rsquo\; recent book Intentionality and the Myths of the Given: Between Pragmatism and Phenomenology deftly bridges all these debates. Being indebted to Merleau-Ponty&rsquo\;s philosophy of perception and his treatment of embodied habits\, it also opens the prospect for collaboration with contemporary versions of embodied phenomenology that are empirically-informed\, like Shaun Gallagher&rsquo\;s Enactivist Interventions: Rethinking the Mind. We are using the opportunity of a research visit by both philosophers to Deakin University to organise a workshop around these themes.  \;
