What the Workshop Will be About   In recent years, perception has become a central field of inquiry for theorists working in the teleosemantic tradition. The goal of this workshop is to investigate whether and how teleosemantic ideas and stratagems can help to shed light on diverse questions concerning the nature and content of perceptual states, e.g.: What properties are represented in perception?  Are perceptual contents conceptual or non-conceptual? What is the relation between perceptual content and accuracy conditions? Do perceptual states have singular contents? What distinguishes perceptual states from beliefs on the one hand and non-perceptual sensory states on the other?

Venue    The venue of the workshop is room X-A2-103 at Bielefeld University. A map of the campus can be found here: Link11 (the room is on the second floor of the building labelled "Gebäude X" on the map).
