Mind and Meaning: Conference in Honor of John Haugeland

John Haugeland has made important contributions to many different areas of philosophy. His three most lasting contributions, however, will arguably prove to be to the following three fields: (1) to the philosophy of mind, above all, to the question of what is most distinctive about human mindedness; (2) to our critical understanding of artificial intelligence, above all, to our understanding of its inherent limitations as a research program for understanding the nature of human intelligence; and (3) to the interpretation of the German existentialist philosopher Martin Heidegger, above all, to the ways in which a proper understanding of his thought bears upon (1) and (2). This conference will bring together leading scholars in each of these three fields to discuss Haugeland's work.
