If anybody happens to be in New Haven this evening, I'll be speaking about Proust, art, science, wine and Descartes with the psychologist Paul Bloom. It will be fun and it's free. The event starts at 5:30 and is at the Yale Center for British Art.

I did happen to be in New Haven Friday evening and very much enjoyed your talk with Paul Bloom. I did have a question which I didn't manage to get in. If I heard you correctly, the mind's experience is irreduceable to the firing of neurons in the brain. You also classified yourself as a skeptical agnostic. That would appear, to me, to be a contradiction. If I haven't gotten this all wrong, how would one reconcile this difference? Please set me straight, one way or the other. Thanks.
