Description

Brian Loar's Consciousness and Meaning Selected Essays explores one of modern philosophy's most fundamental questions: how to understand subjectivity in a physical universe. This collection brings together two parts of Loar's work, covering the philosophy of language and the philosophy of mind. Loar's essays on language engage with the Gricean program, seeking to reduce linguistic representation in terms of mental representation. In contrast, his work on the philosophy of mind focuses on understanding consciousness and intentionality from a subjective perspective. Despite this, Loar argues that subjectivity is both real and significant, while also being grounded in physical processes. This volume showcases Loar's unique approach to reconciling these seemingly opposing views, offering insights into the nature of consciousness and meaning in our everyday experience.
