History of Modern Philosophy Group Talk (David James Barnett, Toronto)

The History of Philosophy Group is pleased to welcome as speaker David James Barnett, an associate professor of Philosophy at the University of Toronto who specializes in epistemology and the philosophy of mind. Dr. Barnett is interested in the epistemic significance of self-consciousness and the boundaries of the self. In practice, this means writing papers about self-knowledge, epistemic akrasia, perception, memory, skepticism, epistemic circularity, and social epistemology.
