Valtteri Arstila: Epiphenomenal temporal structure of consciousness Valtteri Arstila works at the Department of Philosophy at the University of Turku. His research interests are in philosophy of mind (perception, consciousness) and the foundations of cognitive neuroscience, and he has published a number of articles in journals such as International Journal of Dream Research, Erkenntnis and Australasian Journal of Philosophy: Our experiences as of temporally extended phenomena like change, movement, and melodies have suggested to philosophers that what we experience at one moment is not an instant but is a temporally extended interval. How to account for this subjectively extended moment is at the heart of time consciousness, a topic that Edmund Husserl considered to be the most important and yet the most difficult among phenomenological problems. Many analytic philosophers of mind have agreed, and, like Husserl, struggled to account for these experiences. Although this has resulted various different theories of time consciousness, virtually all of them are based on the idea of temporal structure of consciousness. On this talk I argue that the assumed temporal structure cannot explain our temporal phenomenology. ANTIKVARIATET, Nedre Bakklandet 4, kl. 18.00 presis
