The aim of the European Society for Philosophy & Psychology is ‘to
promote interaction between philosophers and psychologists on issues of
common concern’. Psychologists, neuroscientists, linguists, computer
scientists and biologists are encouraged to report experimental,
theoretical and clinical work that they judge to have philosophical
significance; and philosophers are encouraged to engage with the
fundamental issues addressed by and arising out of such work. In recent
years ESPP sessions have covered such topics as spatial concepts, theory
of mind, attention, joint attention, reference, problems of
consciousness, introspection and self-report, emotion, perception, early
numerical cognition, infants’ understanding of intentionality, memory
and time, motor imagery, counterfactuals, the semantics/pragmatics
distinction, minimalism in linguistic theory, reasoning, vagueness,
mental causation, action and agency, thought without language,
externalism, hypnosis, and the interpretation of neuropsychological
results.
