Thesis proposals
I particularly welcome theses on the following subjects:
- the self, subjectivity, mind, and consciousness;
- perception;
- imagination;
- phenomenological topics;
- Descartes' Metaphysics and Epistemology;
- issues in Husserl's philosophy;
- issues in Sartre's philosophy (especially his theory of imagination, subjectivity, and consciousness);
- theories of judgement (especially in the Brentanian and phenomenological tradition).
