Understanding, Epistemology, and Metaphy

This proposed seminar is an investigation into the network of relations between three things:  (I) the nature of a domain of entities, including their properties and relations; (II) the capacity to have mental states about them; and (III) the capacity to know and to make reasonable judgements about them. 

As a subpart of this investigation, as a special case at one level up: we are sometimes concerned with the network of relations between: (I’) the nature of a domain of entities consisting of, or involving, intentional contents themselves, their properties and relations;  (II’) the capacity of have mental states about them; and (III’) the capacity to know and make reasonable judgements about them.
