We can ask, what is attention, anyway? The folks over at Brains, the group blog on the philosophy and science of minds, are currently putting on a symposium on one answer to this question offered up by Philipp Koralus (Oxford) in his article, “The Erotetic Theory of Attention: Questions, Focus, and Distraction” (in Mind & Language). Koralus provides a précis of his article, and there are commentaries by Felipe De Brigard (Duke), Christopher Mole (University of British Columbia), Catherine Stinson (Pittsburgh), and Sebastian Watzl (Oslo), plus a reply by Koralus. Check it out. (via John Schwenkler)
