Can I Doubt That I Exist?

E-mail Print PDF

Colloquium Presentation with Dr. Roy Perrett, Department of Philosophy, University of Hawai'i at Manoa

The standard received view in both Western and Indian philosophy is that I cannot doubt that I exist. Some psychiatric patients suffering from Cotard’s Syndrome, however, assert that they do not exist. I address this apparent empirical challenge to the first-person indubitability of one's own existence.

Narrative Reflection in the Philosophy of Teaching

E-mail Print PDF

A colloquium with Hunter McEwan, College of Education, exploring how philosophers’ stories have influenced the ways that we think of teaching.

Two kinds of stories—genealogies and portraits—are of particular note in influencing Western conceptions of teaching: genealogies provide accounts of how teaching might have come about; portraits offer representations of exemplary teachers. The discussion of these narratives will focus attention on competing representations of the "teacher as artist" and the "teacher as healer."
