USC: "More than 40 scholars from across the country and abroad will gather at UCSC the week of June 21-28 for a conference on philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein and his significance for contemporary philosophy of mind. The event will be hosted by UCSC associate professor of philosophy Daniel Guevara and assistant professor of philosophy Jonathan Ellis. Wittgenstein is considered by many to be one of the greatest philosophers in history and was certainly a huge intellectual figure of the 20th century, the two professors noted. His contribution to the philosophy of mind, in particular, is deep and wide-ranging. It bears upon philosophical questions concerning introspection, perception, concept-formation, the understanding of rules, the relation between mind and brain, artificial intelligence, and many other subjects of contemporary concern. more
