About

TPoPC was started by philosophers associated with NTNU, whose main campus is in Trondhjem (aka. Trondheim). We discuss work in progress, or recent, or not-so-recent, papers or chapters, mainly from analytical philosophy of perception, broadly conceived to include work linking perception with isssues in epistemology or philosophy of mind, action, language, and psychology.

We also serve as a working party of the Consciousness, Cognition, and Reality research group.
