Reminder: Lugano Philosophy Colloquia (Hybrid)
by events.isfi＠usi.ch
We are pleased to announce that on Thursday, November 6 at 4.30pm (CET), Bence Nanay (University of Antwerp) will give the talk The Translucent Mind as part of the Lugano Philosophy Colloquia Fall 2025 organised by the Institute of Philosophy (ISFI) at USI.
The talk will be chaired by Byron Simmons.
This hybrid talk will take place in Room Multiuso FTL Building (USI west campus) and online via Zoom. If you are interested in joining online, please write to events.isfi(a)usi.ch.
Here is the abstract of the talk:
Some of our mental states are translucent: we can't fully elaborate some parts of their content, by which I mean we can't make some of the represented properties more determinate. More generally, mental states come on a spectrum when it comes to whether and how much we can elaborate some parts of their content. I argue that translucency is an overlooked but extremely important feature of mental states and I give case studies of this importance in the case of translucent beliefs, translucent emotions, translucent memories and translucent desires.
