	P. F. Strawson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Peter Frederick Strawson (born November 23, 1919 in London) is a philosopher associated with the ordinary language philosophy movement within analytic philosophy.
		Strawson was knighted in 1977, for services to philosophy, so he is also known as Sir Peter Strawson.
		Strawson's son, Galen Strawson, is also a philosopher.

	[No title]
		I would not dispute Strawson's assessment of the philosophy of the twentieth century: it surely will be recogized, eventually, as a desperate last attempt to salvage the classical conception of Nature based on the Principle's postulated in Newton's Principia, supplemented by the classical ideas of Maxwell and Einstein.
		Strawson goes on to say: GS: The standard formulation of the "mind-body problem" rests on a huge and wholly unjustified assumption (this assumption is Descartes deepest error).
		Strawson emphasizes this lacuna in Damasio's account: GS: "but an evolutionary explanation of this kind would not amount to any kind of explanation of how it is that consciousness can exist at all, given the nature of the brain as revealed by physics and neurophysiology, and Damasio has little to say about this.

	Waggish: Galen Strawson and Narrativity
		I was planning to summarize Galen Strawson's arguments against narrativity in the Oct 15 issue of the TLS, but I'm blessed, because Peter Leithart has already done a sterling job presenting Strawson's argument.
		Strawson slides some of the terms around, but to keep things relatively simple, let's consider that diachronics are inclined to build narratives around themselves and others over time, while episodics are disinclined to construct cognitive edifices that rely on the assumption of a constant body undergoing incremental change.
		In Galen Strawson's fascinating rebuke to glib narrative psychology, I was interested to read Ford Madox Ford categorised as an Episodic personality, and Joseph Conrad as a Narrativist.

	Strawson interview
		Strawson is one of the most respected theorists in the free will industry and at the same time a bit of an outsider.
		Galen Strawson is also the son of perhaps the most respected analytic philosopher alive, the great metaphysician and philosopher of language P.F. Strawson.
		Galen: Yes, many people think that determinism—the view that the history of the universe is fixed, the view that everything that happens is strictly necessitated by what has already gone before, in such a way that nothing can ever happen otherwise than it does—is the real threat to free will, to ultimate moral responsibility.

		"Consciousness, thank goodness, is no longer a forbidden topic, and Galen Strawson's complex, subtle and controversial book is one of the best of many trying to say how we should think about this most difficult of subjects.
		, Galen Strawson argues that the answer is not intelligence, representational content, or intentionality broadly understood, but conscious experience.
		Strawson describes an alternative position, naturalized Cartesianism, that couples the materialist view that mind is entirely natural and wholly physical with respect for the idea that the only distinctively mental phenomena are those of conscious experience.

	Galen Strawson: The Self

	>-- The Garden of Forking Paths --<: Why Should Compatibilists Care About Being Causa Sui?
		In a deterministic world, or in a world without LFW even if it isn't fully deterministic, the person's doing the bad thing that landed him or her in prison was ultimately not up to him or her, but was merely an unfoldong of the given.
		Strawson made crucial progress (just two decades ago!) by noting a third point which I think most people fail to notice, when considering this issue: having the superior amount of control over our lives that a designer or designer* would have is impossible, not just in this universe, but in every universe.
		The term is helpful, I think, to the extent it fits with Galen Strawson's view according to which everything, a priori, cannot have free will, and to the extent it draws attention to the mechanical, as opposed to supernatural, nature of human beings.

	The Believer - Interview with Galen Strawson
		Two main philosophical camps engage in a technical and often bitter dispute over whether free will is compatible with the truth of determinism (the theory that the future is fixed, because every event has a cause, and the causes stretch back until the beginning of the universe).
		Strawson is a descendant of these philosophers, but still incorporates the British analytic tradition into his work.
		Galen Strawson is the son of perhaps the most respected analytic philosopher alive, the great metaphysician and philosopher of language, P.F. Strawson.

	Strawson
		Galen Strawson's most recent book, Mental Reality, was published in 1995.
		Strawson argues that our belief in freedom is grounded in certain fundamental natural reactions to other people - such as gratitude and resentment - that we cannot hope to give up.
		Those who think hard about free will are likely to conclude that the complex moral psychology of the experience of freedom is the most fruitful area of research.

	MR33 - Issues in Ethics - Handout 11 - Free Will & Moral Responsibility - Martin O'Neill
		• Interestingly, Galen Strawson is the son of one of the most famous compatibilists of 20th century philosophy, Sir Peter Strawson.
		Is Strawson right in thinking that the (very robust) version of moral responsibility with which he deals really is of central important in our moral or religious thought?
		Scanlon raised in lecture, this raises the question of whether it is unjust to praise or blame people for their level of mathematical ability, musical talent or physical coordination.

		Chalmers (1996), Flanagan (1992), Goldman (1993), Horgan and Tiensen (2003), Jackendoff (1987), Levine (1993, 1995, 2001), McGinn (1991a), Pitt (2004), Searle (1992), Siewert (1998) and Strawson (1994), claim that purely symbolic (conscious) representational states themselves have a (perhaps proprietary) phenomenology.
		If this claim is correct, the question of what role phenomenology plays in the determination of content rearises for conceptual representation; and the eliminativist ambitions of Sellars, Brandom, Rey, et al.

	>-- The Garden of Forking Paths --<: Is Incompatibilism Intuitive?
		It would be hard to distill out of this pre-theory anything like an ‘intuition’ about an abstract philosophical problem (a methodological point implicit in Strawson’s classic essay, I think).
		Even when you construct cases that are supposed to make the philosophical issues concrete for your survey subjects, they will usually be cases remote from anything that I imagine that these people have thought much about before (such as your Laplacean hypotheticals).
		Second, you cite G. Strawson as someone who says that the folk are natural incompatibilists.

		There is a nice song to New York, a funny matt account of his meeting with Robert Redford, and sustained meditation on the Victorians and the American Indians, and on the way their moral styles clash and combine in the modern American soul.

		Strawson (philosophy, Jesus College, Oxford) poses the question of what is distinctive of the mental, arguing that it is not intelligence or sapience, representational content or intentionality, broadly understood, but conscious experience.
		Challenging neobehaviorist accounts of the mental, he argues that much contemporary philosophy of the mind is still confused by positivism and its various offspring, giving undue primacy of place to non-mental phenomena, publicly observable phenomena, and behavioral phenomena in its account of the nature of mental life.
