July 13, 2012 UC Irvine	Paul Livingston (New Mexico)	Thinking about Transcendental Truth with Heidegger and Davidson	abstract
In his last, posthumously published book, Truth and Predication, Davidson suggests that the application of Tarskian truth-definitions for particular languages depends upon a pre-existing grasp of a general concept of truth (that is not simply truth-in-L for a particular language). Davidson argues that this cuts against both correspondence and coherence definitions of truth, but also against disquotationalist views on which the notion of truth is empty or redundant. Recently, both Mark Wrathall and Mark Okrent have suggested connections between Davidson’s translational project and Heidegger’s understanding of truth as disclosure in practical situations of action and comportment. I shall consider whether and to what extent Heidegger’s understanding of truth as disclosure or aletheia indeed can underwrite a general understanding of the basis of truth and predication in such a way as to be capable of synthesis with Davidson’s Tarskian picture. In conclusion, I consider the implications of this synthesis for Davidson’s argument against the dualism of scheme and content in “On the Very Idea of a Conceptual Scheme”.

January 15, 2011 UC Irvine	Johannes Brandl (Salzburg)	What is Pre-reflective Self-Awareness? Brentano’s Theory of Inner Consciousness Revisited	abstract
In this paper I reconsider Brentano’s notion of inner consciousness both from a historical and a systematic point of view. Although the basic outlines of his theory are well known, an important feature that Brentano made explicit only in later writings has largely gone unnoticed. Brentano allows inner consciousness to vary on a scale from indistinct to distinct forms of awareness. In the first part of this paper I explain how Brentano embeds this idea into his conception of the intentional structure of experience. In the second part I employ this idea in defending a neo-Brentanist theory of pre-reflective self-awareness against various objections that have been raised in the recent literature.
October 23, 2010 UC Irvine	Chad Kidd (UC Irvine)	Against Austerity	abstract
In this paper I dismantle a family of arguments suggested by M.G.F. Martin to the effect that a naïve realist view of perceptual experience is inextricably wed to what I call an austere relational view of the phenomenal character of perceptual experience. Naïve realism is a two-part thesis about the structure and phenomenology of perceptual experience: 1. Perceptual experience is a relation to external, mind-independent objects; 2. From the first-person perspective, perceptual experience ostensibly provides a direct awareness of the objects we naïvely take ourselves to be related to in perception. Austere relationalism is the thesis that the phenomenal character of perception – the first-personally accessible features of experience, the 'what its like' of perception, if you will – consists solely in relations between the mind and external, mind-independent objects. I show that Martin's arguments for the connection between these two theses are unsound. And I indicate how an aspect of the explanation of phenomenal character found in standard versions of representationalism (i.e., like those advocated by Dretske, Tye, and most clearly Lycan) can maintain naïve realism while providing a more satisfactory account of phenomenal character when it is placed under certain constraints not typically endorsed by representationalists. This latter project results in an explicit formulation of a relatively neglected form of disjunctivism about perception that I call intentional disjunctivism – a view which is prefigured in the phenomenological theory of perception put forward by Edmund Husserl. In this view, genuine perception as a different type of activity from hallucination (and perhaps also illusion), which also has a common intentional content with hallucination.

May 22, 2010 UC Irvine	Paul Livingston (New Mexico)	Husserl and Heidegger on Truth and Logos	abstract
What role does the logical structure of propositions and assertions play in phenomenological analyses of meaning and truth? After briefly considering Husserl's position in the Logical Investigations and Formal and Transcendental Logic, I examine Heidegger's critique of the "propositional" conception of truth in Being and Time and his attempt to replace it with a more "original" phenomenologically grounded "disclosive" or aletheiac conception. Through a discussion of Ernst Tugendhat's classic critique of Heidegger's own conception of truth, I conclude that Heidegger's attempt here is not entirely successful and that its partial failure points to a deeper and more original role for logos and language in phenomenology and fundamental ontology than Heidegger allows, at least in Being and Time itself.
March 23, 2010 UC Irvine Dagfinn Follesdal (Stanford)		On the interpretation of the noema
A central topic will be the noema, how to interpret Husserl's texts on the noema and the consequences the different interpretations have for the interpretation of other core elements in Husserl's phenomenology.

Sunday, November 8, 2009. Irvine, CA	Walter Hopp (Boston College)	The New Representational Realism	abstract
According to Alva Noe and Susanna Schellenberg, the contents of many perceptual experiences seem to be incoherent. A penny viewed from an oblique angle looks round but also looks elliptical, and a tree will look both the same size and larger than another tree of the same size if the latter is farther away. According to the Dual Content Theory, which both defend, this is because perceptual experiences represent both intrinsic properties and perspectival or situation-dependent properties. Perspectival properties—or P-properties—are relational but objective features of objects. The penny viewed from an oblique angle is intrinsically round but relationally elliptical or “elliptical from here,” while the two trees have the same intrinsic size but have different relational sizes. I will argue that the Dual Content Theory is false. I examine several ways of understanding what spatial P-shapes and P-sizes are, and argue that they either lead to absurdities or describe properties that are not typically presented in perception. I also argue that the phenomena that the theory is designed to explain do not exist. Finally, I argue against the assumption that we must explain the inadequate or incomplete perception of something in terms of a two-step process involving the adequate perception of some other thing and a process of “going beyond” it.
Sunday, November 8, 2009. Irvine, CA	Robert Stolorow (UC Riverside)	Trauma and Human Existence: The Mutual Enrichment of Heidegger’s Existential Analytic and a Psychoanalytic Understanding of Trauma	abstract
During a 16-year period after having the experience of a traumatic loss, I strove, in a series of articles culminating in a book (Stolorow, 2007), to grasp and conceptualize the essence of emotional trauma. Two interweaving central themes crystallized in the course of this work. One pertains to the context-embeddedness of emotional life in general and of the experience of emotional trauma in particular. The other pertains to the recognition that the possibility of emotional trauma is built into the basic constitution of human existence. In this paper I first explicate these two themes and show how Heidegger’s (1927) existential analytic can provide a philosophical grounding for them. Next I propose a synthesis of the two themes—trauma’s contextuality and its existentiality—from a perspective that I believe can encompass them both. Lastly I show how this broader perspective on trauma can enrich aspects of Heidegger’s existential analytic that concern “Being-with” (Mitsein), the existential structure underpinning relationality. Although Heidegger’s philosophy may in some respects be regarded as a forerunner of postmodern thought, this enriched conception of Mitsein will be shown to extend his existential analytic far beyond the moral relativism characteristic of postmodernism.

Saturday, May 2, 2009. Irvine, CA	Mark Wrathall (UC Riverside)	Heidegger's translations of Logos: Rede, Sprache, Sage	abstract
I will show that the apparent turn to language in Heidegger's later work needs to be understood on the basis of a consistent view of the structure of logos and its function in opening up a world. Heidegger's accounts of discourse (Rede), language (Sprache), and saying (Sage) are each attempts to capture what is essential about logos.
Saturday, November 15, 2008. Los Angeles, CA	Chris Lay (UC Irvine)	The Role of Time-Consciousness in the Contemporary Consciousness Debate	abstract
The contemporary consciousness debate stands to benefit from an understanding of Husserl's account of time-consciousness, which holds that normal awareness includes an awareness of the immediate past and future, in retentions and protentions respectively. I will focus on two problems in that debate, how to deal with the Grand Illusion worry, then how to account for the behavior of sleepwalkers. 1) The Grand Illusion worry arises when experiential facts about perception seem irreconcilable with anatomical facts about perceptual organs. While I think I experience a certain level of color or shape detail in the periphery of my visual experience, I do not have the necessary density of rods and cones in the corresponding areas of my retina to account for that experience, thus, the Grand Illusion worry goes, my experience of that level of detail must be illusory. I argue that an understanding of time-consciousness can account for those experiential facts about perception, without making them illusory; I am aware of that level of detail thanks to my rententions and protentions of them. 2) Sleepwalkers who cannot recall their sleepwalking behavior present a problem. Such sleepwalkers seem to have time-consciousness, though they obviously lack normal consciousness. I'll argue, against the likes of Zahavi, that the sleepwalker has an impoverished form of time-consciousness, which accounts for the sleepwalker's lacking normal consciousness. I'll conclude with some speculations about how the structure of time-consciousness might help distinguish the various levels of consciousness.

Sunday, January 27, 2008. Riverside, CA.	Eric Schwitzgebel (UC Riverside)	The Unreliability of Naive Introspection	abstract
We are prone to gross error, even in favorable circumstances of extended reflection, about our own ongoing conscious experience, our current phenomenology. Even in this apparently privileged domain, our self-knowledge is faulty and untrustworthy. We are not simply fallible at the margins but broadly inept. Examples highlighted in this essay include: emotional experience (for example, is it entirely bodily; does joy have a common, distinctive phenomenological core?), peripheral vision (how broad and stable is the region of visual clarity?), and the phenomenology of thought (does it have a distinctive phenomenology, beyond just imagery and feelings?). Cartesian skeptical scenarios undermine knowledge of ongoing conscious experience as well as knowledge of the outside world. Infallible judgments about ongoing mental states are simply banal cases of self-fulfillment. Philosophical foundationalism supposing that we infer an external world from secure knowledge of our own consciousness is almost exactly backward.
Sunday, December 8, 2007. Los Angeles, CA	David Pitt (CSU LA)	Introspective Availability of Intentional Content	abstract
Some analytic philosophers have recently been defending the thesis that there’s “something it’s like” to consciously think a particular thought, which is qualitatively different from what it’s like to be in any other kind of conscious mental state and from what it’s like to think any other thought, and which constitutes the thought’s intentional content. (I’ll call this the “intentional phenomenology thesis”). One objection to this thesis concerns the introspective availability of such content: If it is true that intentional phenomenology is constitutive of intentional content, and that conscious phenomenology is introspectively available, then it ought to be true that the content of any concept consciously entertained is introspectively available. But it is not. (For example, one can know introspectively that one is thinking that one knows that p without knowing introspectively what the content of the concept of knowledge is.) Hence, it cannot be that intentional content is constituted by cognitive phenomenology. I develop three responses to this objection. First, it is not clear that all of the contents of consciousness must be equally available to introspection. The capacities for conscious experience and introspective attention to it are distinct. It is not implausible that the latter’s resolving power might be insufficient to discern all of the fine-grained details of the former, or that its scope might be limited. Second, it is possible that in cases of incomplete accessibility one is entertaining only part of the concept the relevant term expresses in one’s language. In the knowledge case, for example, perhaps one is thinking only that one has justified true belief that p (one’s self-attribution of a thought about knowledge is in fact false). Finally, in such cases one might be consciously entertaining only part of the relevant concept, the rest remaining unconscious, and so unavailable to conscious introspection. I conclude that the objection is not decisive against the intentional phenomenology thesis.

Saturday, June 3, 2006. Irvine, CA.	Michelle Montague	Particularity in Perception	abstract
No one doubts that we perceive particular objects—I see a particular desk in front of me, hear the roar of a particular car engine and touch a particular apple. So everyone accepts the following datum: we perceive particular objects. It is also clear that it is part of the phenomenology of perception that we perceive particular objects; it seems to us that we perceive particular objects. I don’t think anyone doubts that either. So, we have two pieces of data: [1] we perceive particular objects—call this the metaphysical datum; and [2] it seems to us that we perceive particular objects—call this the phenomenological datum. If everyone agrees about the data, why is there any philosophical puzzle surrounding the topic of the particularity of perception at all? There are a host of arguments that attempt to show that the content of perception must be specified in wholly general terms, and that this is so even in the case of experiences that have the character of being experiences of particular thing. So, for example, in one’s perception of a book on the table, the content might be specified as ‘one has an experience as of a book with a certain character…’ The content is thus specified in terms of qualities shareable across experiences and in this sense this general. Qualitative properties such as color, shape and superficial texture are obvious candidates for specifying the content. There seem to be two distinct worries about taking perceptual content to be general: [1] content that is wholly general seems to flout the phenomenological datum that we seem to perceive particular objects; [2] If the content of perceptual experience can be specified in wholly general terms, then in what sense are we are aware of particular objects? One attempt to account for the particularity of perception, while remaining a generalist about content, is in terms of external relations (e.g. causal or historical) between perceivers and external objects. But although this seems to account for the metaphysical datum—we perceive particular objects because particular objects cause our experiences—the phenomenological datum is left unexplained. In this paper I will consider the following attempts at accounting for the phenomenological datum: [a] include a ‘sense’ of particularity explicitly in the content, i.e. that one is taking X as a particular—‘this very thing is particular’ (this seems consistent with a generalist view of content); [b] Evans’s and McDowell’s object-dependent senses; and [c] the idea that the content of perceptual experiences can only be specified relative to a context.
Saturday, February 19, 2006. Los Angeles, CA.	Jeff Yoshimi (UC Merced)	Heideggerean Misreadings of Husserlian Phenomenology	abstract
I argue that Heideggerrean critiques of Husserl, including Heidegger's own, rest on a series of equivocations and mistakes. (1) tacit beliefs and positings are mistaken for explicitly framed beliefs and posits, (2) the natural attitude is mistaken for a naturalistic attitude, (3) analysis of abstract essences is taken to imply that human existence is abstract, (4) the bracketing of the world is taken to imply an experience of the world as bracketed, and (5) the absolute givenness of consciousness is alleged to be a mere presupposition inherited from Descartes, when in fact it is argued for on original phenomenological grounds. Other topics will be covered as time permits.
Saturday, October 15, 2005. Irvine, CA.	Jeff Ogle	Husserl's concept of Empathy from the Fifth Cartesian Meditation	abstract
Husserl’s Cartesian Meditations is supposed to explicate, at least in a preliminary way, the sense of the entire objective world from the perspective of the transcendental ego. Ostensibly, the point of such an explication is to ground the sciences on as firm a base as possible. We find in the fifth meditation that, in order to gain a sense of objectivity, and thus of the objective world, we need a sense of otherness in general, and this comes to us initially from the sense of another ego. We are then, if committed to this Husserlian project, forced to work through the problem of how the sense ‘alter ego’ could be motivated, both in everyday life, and originally in a primal instituting. The latter kind of motivation poses many difficulties. To name two, one cannot have a fully developed sense of self, nor can one have a sense of one’s own body as something objective, before one has any conception of other egos. What is needed to make the primal institution of the sense ‘alter ego’ possible is some minimal conception of a self, explicitly as opposed to what I call pre-objects, recurrent objects that are not yet construed as existing in a public three-dimensional space. This indicates that some minimal conception of recurrent objects is needed as well. Once such minimal conceptions are in place, the primitive ego can both see its own body as such an object, and associate itself in a fundamental way with that body. The descriptions of the self and its pre-objects given in my paper go some way toward providing the minimal conceptions of self and object needed for Husserl’s project. Once the primitive ego is in possession of these conceptions, it can pair its body with some other pre-object in the environment, motivating an analogical apperception of that object AS an ego. This finally allows the ego to begin to develop a notion of what egos are like in general. Because Husserl over-emphasizes the visual similarities that the ego might seize upon to motivate this pairing, and because the primitive ego cannot have a well-developed sense of what it looks like from an external perspective, I try to make his account more plausible by noting other similarities that the primitive ego would be in a position to appreciate, namely both kinematic and vocal similarities. Taken together, the descriptions and considerations provided in my paper aim to make the primal institution of the alter ego a more plausible achievement, and thus contribute to the overall aim of phenomenology, which is not only to clarify the sense of the objective world, as we currently possess it, but also to uncover, through a phenomenological archaeology, the genesis of this sense.

Saturday, May 22, 2005. Los Angeles, CA.	Charles Siewert (UC Riverside)	In Favor of (Plain) Phenomenology	abstract
In this paper I describe and defend a philosophical approach I call “plain phenomenology” to distinguish it both from the “pure phenomenology” of Husserl, and from Daniel Dennett’s “heterophenomenology.” In plain phenomenology one explains theoretically salient mental or psychological distinctions with an appeal to their first-person applications, but without requiring or assuming (as does heterophenomenology) that whatever warrant is to be had for such first-person judgment is derived from an explanatory theory constructed from the third-person perspective. Discussions in historical phenomenology can be treated as plain phenomenology in the sense explained. This is illustrated by a critical discussion of Brentano’s account of consciousness, drawing on some ideas in early Husserl. I argue that Dennett’s advocacy of heterophenomenology on the grounds of its supposed “neutrality” does not show it is preferable to plain phenomenology, and that in fact the latter is more neutral in ways we ought to want, and permits a desirable (and desirably critical) use of first-person reflection that finds no place in the former.

Saturday, October 9, 2004. CSU Northridge.	Walter Hopp (Boston College)	Fulfillment and Perception in Husserl's Logical Investigations	abstract
The Sixth Logical Investigation is Husserl's most complete account of the manner in which acts of meaning or thought are verified or fulfilled on the basis of corresponding intuitions, thereby laying hold of "the things themselves." According to Husserl, all knowledge whatsoever is ultimately grounded upon such acts of fulfillment. Moreover, the ideal of phenomenology as a purely descriptive, presuppositionless science, whose task is to ground our knowledge by consulting the things themselves, presupposes a sharp distinction between mere "theory" and the sorts of experiences in which the things themselves are given to consciousness, and given just as they themselves are. Nevertheless, Husserl's account is not entirely free of difficulties. In particular, there are fairly compelling textual and philosophical grounds for both asserting and denying that perceptual acts are acts of fulfillment. The purpose of the present discussion is to draw attention to some of these difficulties and, with your aid, to discuss some alternatives that respect Husserl's central insights.

Sunday, May 23,2004. UC Irvine.	Jason Ford	Attention, Phenomenology, and the Self in Consciousness	abstract
What does phenomenology tell us about the role of the self in normal conscious experience? Husserl shows us that the awareness of an experience as belonging to the person whose experience it is (mine to me and yours to you) must be part of the experience itself, not a separate experience. David Smith, in The Circle of Acquaintance, calls this "the reflexive character of consciousness". I will show that David LaBerge's account of attention can be extended to accommodate and support those phenomenological results. In the process, I will explain LaBerge's model of attention as a triangular circuit, and his explanation of the more straightforward cases of self-awareness in conscious states where we are dividing our attention between the self-image and the other object of attention (whatever it might be). I will argue that we should extend LaBerge's model to cover all normal conscious experience, and then show how that can be done. I will consider some objections to my position (from those who favor Higher-Order models of consciousness). Finally, I will close with some remarks on methodology and integrating phenomenology and cognitive science.
Sunday, April 18,2004. UC Irvine.	Wayne Martin (UCSD)	Fichte's Transcendental Phenomenology of Agency	abstract
The paper, "Fichte's Transcendental Phenomenology of Agency" is (somewhat oddly) both in progress and in press. I wrote this version of it last summer for inclusion in a collaborative commentary dealing with Fichte's Sittenlehre -- the main ethical work of his Jena period. This explains several oddities: The essays in that collection will all appear in German, and this version of the paper was accordingly written to be sent to a professional translator who handled the preparation of the German version of the piece. I point this out mainly to excuse the odd inclusion here of some seemingly misplaced German words and sentences. These appear in places where I did not want to leave the translator with any uncertainty as to how particular terms were to be rendered. For the same reason I left the primary citations untranslated, although in this version of the piece I have included English translations. These translations are the collaborative product of the participants in the UCSD German Translation Workshop, to whom I owe thanks. Footnotes marked with letters indicate queries and uncertainties about our translation. Finally, this piece will be the lead article in that collection, and the editors specifically asked me to include certain biographical information, which accordingly appears here in section 1. The editors also imposed length restrictions, which explains the brevity of the piece. Enough about the oddities. The more important matters concern its status as Work In Progress. I think of this version as a very preliminary stab at issues I want to pursue further. At this point my hope is to produce a longer English version as a research article.

Saturday, June 14, 2003. UC Irvine	David Kasmier	Husserl's A Priorism and the Method of Free Variation	abstract
Husserl's a priorism is usually ignored or maligned, yet it is both essential to the very possibility of phenomenology, as well as being by far the most comprehensive account of rational intuition provided in the 20th century. In the process of explicating the theory and its importance, I will present an interpretation of free variation that unifies it with Husserl's early work, and saves it from contemporary phenomenological critique.
Sunday, March 16th, 2003. Irvine, CA	Ryan Hickerson	Positive Facts About Intentionality: Why Brentano's Problem Wasn't Brentano's Problem, And What Was	abstract

Sunday, November 24th. 2002. CSU Northridge.	Ron McIntyre (CSU Northridge)	Discussion of Welton's "The Other Husserl"	abstract
Priority 1 (overviews and summaries -- not much argument or detail): Introduction, pp. 1-10; Appendix, pp. 393-404; Ch. 1, pp. 21-24; Ch. 9, pp. 246-256. Priority 2 (more detailed and controversial positions on specific topics; listed by topics so that those of you who don't have time for all can select): world and horizon, pp. 76-95; perception and perceptual meaning, pp. 177-184; linguistic meaning, pp. 186-197; meaning and intentionality, pp. 205-210; evidence and the ego, pp. 138-148, 279-282. Since Welton considers it a crucial text for his interpretation, you might want to look at Husserl's "On Static and Genetic Phenomenological Method," in Husserl, Analyses Concerning Passive and Active Synthesis, pp. 624-648.
August 3, 2002. UC San Diego	Jeff Yoshimi (UC Merced)	Husserl's Many Manifolds	abstract
I begin the talk by doing some constructive work, setting up a framework within which Husserl’s various applications of set-theory can be situated. I then use this framework to (partially) formalize Husserl’s notions of (1) internal horizon, (2) regional ontology and free variation, (3) motivational systems, (4) fulfillment, and (5) noesis-noema correlation. The last item (5) draws some secondary literature into the mix, and shows how controversies concerning the noema are clarified in a set-theoretic framework. Having unearthed what I take to be a new stratum of Husserl’s thought, I end by considering this “other Husserl” on his own and vis-à-vis contemporary work in philosophy and cognitive science. The problem of how Husserl could apply mathematical concepts to phenomenology in light of the fact the he did not want to “mathematize” experience is given special consideration.
