About the theme
The issue concerning the objectivity of
content is central to philosophy. Burge (2010) has recently tried to ground the
objectivity of content on an anti-individualistic conception of perceptual
content. In this talk, I shall raise some worries and inadequacies about his
psychology-based approach, and propose some ways to strengthen it with a focus
on the neuroscientific study of consciousness and intentionality such as one
undertaken by Northoff (2014a, b).
