DESCRIPTION:<p><strong>Abstract</strong>:</p>\n<p>The advent of virtual reality technology has created new opportunities for investigating the phenomenology of selfhood. Drawing on this research\, Blanke and Metzinger (2009) offer the <em>minimal phenomenal self</em> (MPS) as an analysis of the feeling of selfhood. In this paper I clarify an imprecision in the statement of conditions for minimal phenomenal selfhood and argue for an even more minimal conception of selves. I also point out a number of ambiguities in the questionnaires that provide data about feelings of selfhood\, explaining how they undermine efforts to understand the self&rsquo\;s relationship to the body. I close with some recommendations for future empirical studies of selfhood.&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong>Background to this talk</strong>: Due to Dr. Steven Stolz&rsquo\;s (La Trobe) success in obtaining a AARE grant\, Prof. Shapiro (Uni of Wisconsin-Madison\, USA) will be in Melbourne to deliver the key-note presentation at the symposium titled\, &ldquo\;The Body\, Embodiment\, and Education: An Interdisciplinary Approach&rdquo\; (for more information see: <a href="https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-body-embodiment-and-education-an-interdisciplinary-approach-tickets-50896611134">https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/the-body-embodiment-and-education-an-interdisciplinary-approach-tickets-50896611134</a>).</p>\n<p>Whilst in Melbourne\, Prof. Shapiro has also accepted an invitation to give this talk as part of the LTU philosophy seminar series on Thursday the 13th June (4-6pm) at the <strong>LTU City Campus.</strong></p>
