This time our central theme is going to be The Construction of Experience. Ever since empiricism emerged as a live philosophical option, there has been a growing awareness that experience is somehow constructed — and, so, philosophical curiosity has been directed to diverse inquiries regarding the notion of experience as a construct, besides the process of constructing. Our theme, therefore, can be approached from a broad variety of points of view in debates that ramify towards diverse areas, such as epistemology, philosophy of mind, logic, metaphysics, philosophy of perception, philosophy of language, and philosophy of science. We welcome contributions that address any aspect of the construction of experience, as well as critical assessments of historical and contemporary stances on the matter.






The nine previous symposia in this series have been devoted, respectively, to Principles in Philosophy and in the Sciences (1999), The Philosophy of Bertrand Russell (2001), The Philosophy of Willard van Orman Quine (2003), The Philosophy of Donald Davidson (2005), The Philosophy of Bas van Fraassen (2007), Charles Darwin and his impact on philosophy and the sciences (2009), The Philosophy of Nelson Goodman (2011), The Philosophy of Hilary Putnam (2013) and Possible Worlds and their Applications in Philosophy and the Sciences (2015).









This Symposium is being organized by the Epistemology and Logic Research Group (NEL-UFSC), in association with Principia, and supported by the Graduate Program in Philosophy and the Philosophy Department of Federal University of Santa Catarina (UFSC), Brazil.
