Open Positions at Ruhr University Bochum

I'm going to spend a couple of months at RUB this summer, along with (at overlapping times) Colin Allen, Cameron Buckner, and Nivedita Gangopadhyay, among others.  I'm very much looking forward to it, so perhaps others would be interested as well.

Maybe I'll have a few posts on this as well.

Does anyone but Leibniz think that the contents of mental states/representations cannot be influenced by the states of our bodies?

Andy Clark at Washington and Lee Univeristy

So, this is kind of cool.  The senior philosophy majors at W&L will get a talk from Andy after having read some of his stuff.  W&L is in the same academic consortium as my institution, Centenary, only they are in the rich end of the consortium, where we are in the poor end.
