This year the topic of this web conference is the role of second person in language, cognition, and action. The aim of the conference is to explore and clarify the second-person perspective in philosophy, broadly construed, within the conceptual framework offered by contemporary philosophy of mind. Recent research in this field as well as in psychology, psychiatry, and neurosciences has seen exponentially growing attention given to the issue of the second person in experience and knowledge. Naomi Eilan called this new trend in philosophy “the you turn”.

​

The first focus of debate concerns what a second-person view could be. Does it exist something like an experience from the second-person point of view?  What is the structure of this kind of experience? What is the importance of the second person experience in order to give an account of our own experience? What is the relation between the second-person and the first-person view?

​

A second focus concerns the place of the second person in language and cognition. How does second-person reference work in consciousness and thought? Finally, what kind of knowledge is the knowledge from the second-person view? Something between subjective and objective? Or something totally different?

​

The phenomenology, psychology, and conceptual analysis from a second-person point of view can be approached from many views and by several fields.

​

The Organizing Committee of the Tenth International Colloquium in the Philosophy of Mind invites philosophers and scientists to submit abstracts or panel proposals for our next meeting in Brasilia, which will be held from 8th to 10th of December. Proposals regarding the phenomenology of second person and the debate about the second-person view in the history of philosophy are welcome as well.
