Naturalism is currently the most vibrantly
developing approach to philosophy, with naturalised methodologies being applied
across all the philosophical disciplines. One of the areas naturalism has been focussing upon is the mind, traditionally viewed as a topic hard to reconcile with the naturalistic worldview. A number of questions have been pursued in this context. What is the place of the mind in the world? How should study we the mind as a natural phenomenon? What is the significance of cognitive science research for philosophical debates? The workshop aims to further the development of
a naturalistic view of the mind through focussed, friendly discussion undertaken in the relaxed atmosphere of a
picturesque historical town.
