Not only do people experience consciousness, they also attribute it. But how is consciousness attributed and what sorts of entities are ordinarily thought to possess it? Experimental research provides new insights into these and related questions. Please join us for a free workshop on this topic, as well as a conference of cutting-edge work in other areas of experimental philosophy. |
