Mental action – a philosophical cross-point

The notion of mental action concerns the idea that some mental processes count as actions of an agent. This idea is gaining increased interest in contemporary philosophy of mind. Philosophers have examined mental action from multiple perspectives relating to attention control, decision-making, perceptual judgement, and phenomenal consciousness. This has made the idea of mental action a contemporary philosophical cross-point: a topic in which multiple branches of philosophy of mind intersect. By bringing together a handful of contemporary philosophers, the workshop Mental action – a philosophical cross-point aims to provide an outlook on this current and manifold philosophical investigation of mental action.
