Philosophy Department Presents: Dr. Masato Ishida (Assoc. Professor, UH Manoa)

February 6, 2:30pm - 4:30pm
Mānoa Campus, Sakamaki Hall C-308

"Not Merely Buzzing and Blooming: An Exploration of Dewey’s Metaphysics of Qualities:" Are experienced qualities inert, passively experienced as red, sweet, or velvet? Or do they actively contribute to experience, giving rise to significance and meaning? This talk re-examines John Dewey’s analysis of qualitative experience according to which qualities are not merely buzzing and blooming in confusion. They are directional, regulative, and adverbial such that our experiencing of the world becomes meaningful.
