Alva Noë

I am a Professor of Philosophy at the
University of California, Berkeley

I work principally on the philosophy of mind and cognitive science, with special interest in the theory of perception. I am also interested in the philosophy of art, the history of analytic philosophy, Phenomenology, and Wittgenstein.

I am member of the UC Berkeley Institute for Cognitive and Brain Sciences and I am on the faculty of Berkeley's Cognitive Science Program. I am also a member of the new UC Berkeley Center for New Media.

During the 2007-2008 academic year I will be a Fellow of the Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin (Institute for Advanced Study in Berlin).

From 10 August 2007, through mid-July 2008, I can be reached by mail at the following address: Alva Noë; Fellow; Wissenschaftskolleg zu Berlin; Wallotstrasse 19; 14193 Berlin; Germany. I will continue to use my UC Berkeley email.
