Foreword
The project which gave rise to this book developed in the context of a
cooperation between the University of Porto and the Goethe Universität –
Frankfurt am Main. The cooperation started in 2008 and involved the
coordination, by means of common projects, of the research agendas of the
Mind Language and Action Group (MLAG–Institute of Philosophy,
University of Porto, Portugal; Principal Investigator: Sofia Miguens) and
ProtoSociology An International Journal of Interdisciplinary Research and
Project, Goethe-University Frankfurt am Main (led by Gerhard Preyer).
The first common Project, Consciousness and Subjectivity2 (2008-2012),
started from a shared concern about the generalization of a naturalized
epistemology stance in current discussions on consciousness in analytic
philosophy. Not only we had doubts that naturalized epistemology could
be the last word in epistemology, but we also believed that such a situation
resulted in a blindspot concerning the natures of consciousness and
subjectivity. When third-person approaches are dominant (and the
proximity of much philosophical work on mind and language with
cognitive science reinforces such orientation), issues concerning subjectivity
are taken to be exhausted when problems regarding the place of
consciousness in nature, or language and first-person authority, are
addressed.
Our second project, Pre-reflective Consciousness, took up issues
where the first one left them. We were interested in the shape of what we
saw as a return of the problem of subjectivity in philosophy of mind (we
regarded the works of Anscombe, Castañeda, Chisholm, Perry and others
as examples). We were also interested in looking systematically at the
