Topoi Special Issue on Mind and Brain: Final Call for Papers

Topoi invites submissions for a special issue on the study of mind and brain in connection with themes explored in the work of Daniel Dennett and Nicholas Humphrey.

In March 2016, New College of the Humanities (NCH) hosted the NCH Mind and Brain Conference on the philosophy of psychology and cognitive science. Our keynote speakers were Professors Daniel Dennett and Nicholas Humphrey, who have both won the Mind and Brain Prize recognising ‘outstanding achievement... in the field of cognitive science’. Building on this conference, the special issue will include contributions from Professors Dennett and Humphrey.

• Affect
