Dr. Jagnow’s research interests lie mainly in the area of the philosophy of mind and, more specifically, the philosophy of perception. He is particularly interested in the relationship between the phenomenal character of perceptual experiences and their representational contents. Most recently, he has been working on questions about depiction and pictorial experience.
