Ontogenetic & Phenomenological Implications for Mental Representation Ontogenetic & Phenomenological Implications for Mental Representation Academic History: 2015 - PhD in Philosophy, University of Edinburgh 2014 - 2015 MA in Philosophy, University of York 2011 - 2014 BA (Hons) in Philosophy & English Literature, University of York Supervisors: Dr Alistair Isaac Professor Jesper Kallestrup Professor Rob Rupert Research Interests: My research focuses on the phenomenon of ‘intentionality’ or ‘mental representation’. This is the mind’s capacity to ‘be about’ things, in the sense that one can have thoughts about Scotland, or beliefs about Santa Claus. I am interested in investigating this capacity from two angles: one looking at empirical findings relating to its development within a human lifetime, and another considering notable first-person experiences, or notable ‘phenomenological’ occurrences. I am also interested in consciousness, perception, and other topics in the philosophy of mind, as well as in metaethics and metaphilosophy.
