I love it! So much of the philosophical literature on vision focuses on output states; it's nice to switch gears and discuss what actually goes on within vision. I also really appreciate how clear she is about what the notion of representation is, as well as its role in prominent theories of vision. Honestly, I find her arguments against cognitivism/for EV to be pretty compelling. When I'm done, I might return to Origins of Objectivity. I think I have a clearer understanding of what Burge is up to having read Orlandi.
Everyone here is a bundle of nerves. And, no, I'm not just saying that because I'm a physicalist. Anyway, how I see it, this forum is good for two things: sharing information and commiserating. So, here's to the misery! Good luck, everybody! And - pssst - hit me up if you have any info re: Pitt HPS.
I just spoke with someone at Pitt HPS. She said that notifications (most likely email notifications) should be out in a week or two. Also, the dept. usually aims for an incoming class of 3-5 students.
