    #165 Uriah Kriegel / Philosophy of Consciousness / Morality & Religion / Collective and Individual Morals

    Uriah Kriegel is a Professor of Philosophy at Rice University. His official research area is the philosophy of mind, but is interested in virtually all the perennial problems of philosophy, as well as the history of tackling them. He is focused on three main projects. The first concerns the value of consciousness: what epistemic, ethical, and aesthetic value might our conscious experience have, and why? The second concerns the nature of moral awareness: are the most foundational forms of moral awareness emotional, rational, both, or neither - and what difference does that make to our grasp of right and wrong? The third main project is in fundamental ontology: what ontological categories do the basic units of reality - "the alphabet of being" - belong to, and how can we tell? He is the author of several books and articles including: Brentano's Philosophical System. OUP 2018.The Varieties of Consciousness. OUP 2015.The Sources of Intentionality. OUP 2011.Subjective Consciousness: A Self-Representational Theory. OUP 2009.
