Conference Announcement &lsquo\;Understanding Others&rsquo\;: An international two-day workshop on the problem of other minds
\nDates: 11-12 March\, 2013
\nLocation: University of Oxford\, St Hilda&rsquo\;s College\, Jacqueline du Pré\; Auditorium
\nOrganisers: Dr Anita Avramides &\; Dr Michael Sollberger
\nThe workshop aims to bring together researchers who work on the problem of other minds\, i.e.\, the question of how we understand and know about the mental lives of other people. The problem of other minds is a topic that interests philosophers\, psychologists\, and neuroscientists alike. The interest in this problem can be explained by reference to its scope\, variety\, and inter-disciplinary nature. In fact\, it forms part of the broader context of social cognition\, i.e.\, of how we perceive\, understand\, emotionally apprehend\, and interpret the intentional activity of others. There are many differing approaches to the problem of other minds within philosophy: there is the approach of analytical philosophy\, as well as that of the phenomenological tradition. Even within analytical philosophy there are those who take this to be an epistemological issue and those that insist it is largely conceptual. There is important work being done in both psychology and neuroscience that can be used to advance our understanding here. The workshop will highlight the current state of the art\, provide an opportunity to exchange ideas\, and open up innovative questions for future research.
