Hello, The following event may be of interest to you: Self-consciousness in the split-brain subject Thursday, December 20, 2018 Consciousness has sometimes been said to be dual, or divided, after split-brain surgery. But what about self-consciousness? In this paper, I argue that after split-brain surgery, the two hemispheres of the brain are associated with distinct self-conscious thinkers. On the other hand, there is something about the way their self-consciousness operates that makes them unlike other pairs of self-conscious thinkers and rather more like a single self-conscious human being. Time: 5:15 pm – 6:30 pm EST/GMT-5 Location: Olin Humanities, Room 102 Sponsor: Dean of the College; Philosophy Program Contact: Garry Hagberg.
