| Course Title: Advanced Studies in Philosophy: 'Philosophy of Mind' |
| Start Date: 01/24/2022 End Date: 05/09/2022 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2022 |
| Description: This course focuses on the relationship between minds and bodies (the 'mind-body problem'), and the nature of mental phenomena. We will discuss the nature of mental features such as thoughts, sensations, emotions and consciousness, and consider their relationship to the seemingly unthinking, unfeeling, grey matter of the brain. We will read some historical responses to these issues but will focus on insights provided by contemporary philosophy and sciences of the mind. This course teaches philosophical writing. |
