Such phenomena have a real impact on many aspects of our lives and deserve much more philosophical scrutiny than they have received. Even though (Western) philosophy has traditionally opposed appearance to reality, the project aims to show that the phenomena in question are best studied not as a negative counterpart of reality, but as aspects of reality in their own right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Internal structure of the seminar meetings<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bibliographic references<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Final evaluation<\/strong>: no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Other useful information<\/strong>: of potential interest to philosophers, psychologists and pedagogists, given the interdisciplinary nature of teachers&#8217; work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Doctoral Program in Philosophy, Epistemology, and Human Sciences University of Cagliari, Department of Education, Psychology, and Philosophy Course title: &#8220;Perception-Based Mindreading&#8221; Number of hours: 2 Teachers: Filippo Contesi (Cagliari), filippo.contesi@unica.it, Joulia Smortchkova (Grenoble), Visiting Professor\/Scientist UniCA [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9406,"featured_media":0,"parent":881,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1623","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/fesc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/fesc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/fesc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/fesc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9406"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/fesc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1623"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/fesc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1623\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1624,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/fesc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1623\/revisions\/1624"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/fesc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/881"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.unica.it\/fesc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
