Representations in Minds, Brains, and AI

This series was prompted by a recent wave of fascinating new work on the topic of representations. We are honored and happy that so many authors agreed to participate and we hope to provide a platform for further interdisciplinary discussion. Most papers are already available and you can find links here: https://www.pe.ruhr-uni-bochum.de/philosophie/ii/bewusstsein/lehre.html.en
