Happy to see that the Access Consciousness-Phenomenal Consciousness distinction is being reconsidered. My preferred solution is to get rid of the notion of "access consciousness" altogether but retain distinction btw "pure" and "mixed" states of PC. www.researchgate.net/publication/... #consci

Inspiring days (and nights) of philosophy and friendship at the very successful @sefa2025.bsky.social Really grateful to Jesús Navarro, @danipino.bsky.social and rest of organisers for such a wonderful time in breathtaking Sevilla.

Off to Seville for the Congress of the Spanish Society of Analytic Philosophy today — a very rich programme of talks over three days spanning many areas of philosophy.

Just arrived!! Sharing Thoughts in the flesh at last. 💫🥹🥳

Thought Sharing in Action (TSA) is one of 59 projects selected by the Leonardo Grant scheme in 2025. We aim to approach sharing and communication in I-You interactions from a fresh, empirically informed angle. An associated 12-month postdoc will be called soon! www.redleonardo.es/beneficiario...

"Is there a shareability requirement on successful communication, disagreement or the transmission of knowledge? More generally, how should we understand the communication and coordination of our thoughts in exchanges with others?" #philsky

Our entry (with @ericman.bsky.social ) for the Open Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science, “The Language of Thought Hypothesis”, is now out. doi.org/10.21428/e27...

Here's a guest piece (credits to @vtgvzdk.bsky.social ) which draws on a report we wrote together for the Czech media (it may yet come out) regarding the results of a national representative survey we did on the issue of how #philosophy is perceived by the public. dailynous.com/2025/09/03/h...

Actors, videogame players and VR users often experience *imaginative contagion* - imaginatively adopted attitudes persist into daily life. My paper explains why this occurs and answers the concern that it may result in our acquiring immoral attitudes. doi.org/10.1111/phpr.70056 #philsky Thread:
