Planning and holding a conference on medieval philosophers’ understanding of the nature of conscious experience (1200-1350). (12 months) 

This is an NEH Convening Grant for an international conference on medieval theories of consciousness to be held in Chicago in 2024, bringing together leading researchers in the field. Our ultimate goal is a volume of collected articles (Fall 2025) related to an under contract volume of translated texts (Medieval Philosophers on Self-Knowledge: 1250-1350, Oxford), both of which will contribute to the growing interest in medieval theories of consciousness among historians and philosophers alike.
