Luca on phenomenal concepts

On December 17th, 2008, Luca Malatesti delivered two lectures on phenomenal concepts. The first lecture took a look at Mary and her qualitative knowledge. One explanation comes from demonstrative take on phenomenology. The second lecture dealt with Kripke's conceivability arguments in direction of dualism. Demonstrative explanation was found to be too thin and reflexive, lacking the qualitative dimension. Luca's contingent travel plans finally reached Ljubljana destination; we hope to be with him again soon. It is uncertain wether this will be Habermas Pecs Hungary meeting or Dubrovnik Attention symposium, both to take place in spring of 2009.
