Strawson’s “The Impossibility of Subjectless Experience”: Philosophy for Fun

By Mulberry Street Branch NYPL

Jul 30  |  Culture

“All experience is experiencing, and therefore entails an experiencer — i.e. a subject of experience. This is an a priori truth.”

What is experience? Is it continuous or discrete? Join us as we read Galen Strawson’s “The Impossibility of Subjectless Experience,” which collapses the distinction between self and experience and asks: when experience ends, do I?

All registrants will receive a PDF of Strawson’s essay. We’ll meet on Thursday, July 30th, at 5:30 PM in Mulberry’s Community Room to discuss!

This ongoing philosophy program is for anyone interested in discussing some of the coolest ideas written down. It’s a place for open, friendly discussion where curiosity reigns. No philosophy background required!
