This conference examines the development of the problem of consciousness from early modern philosophy to the present, exploring the evolution of formulations of the problem and of approaches to resolving it. By examining the work of philosophers of the past both in historical context and in relation to contemporary philosophical thinking, the conference allows philosophy's past and present to illuminate one another.New York UniversityKimmel Center, 60 Washington Square South, Room 914New York, NYFriday, November 810:30-12:30  Alison Simmons (Harvard): "Consciousness and Its History"; commentator Vili Lähteenmäki (Jyväskylä, Finland)2:00-4:00  Marleen Rozemond (Toronto): "Early Modern Philosophy"; commentator Larry Jorgensen (Skidmore)4:30-6:30  Richard Aquila (Tennessee, Knoxville): "Kant"; commentator Camilla Serck Hanssen (Oslo)Saturday, November 910:00-12:00  Dina Emundts (Konstanz): "Hegel"; commentator Sebastian Rand (Georgia State)2:00-4:00  Mattia Riccardi (Oporto, Portugal): "Nietzsche"; commentator Maudemarie Clark (UC Riverside/Colgate)4:30-6:30  Galen Strawson (Reading/Texas, Austin): "Contemporary Philosophy"; commentator: Martine Nida-Rümelin (Fribourg, Switzerland)Website.Contacts: Don Garrett, Béatrice Longuenesse, John Richardson.
