Contemporary Philosophy of Mind

Contemporary Philosophy of Mind

Cost
525.00

This course was available in the past and may be presented again as part of the Open Enrollment curriculum.

In this course we’ll discuss a collection of classic, article-length works in the philosophy of mind published in English during the second half of the 20th century. Topics will include the nature of mind, the relationship between mind and body, non-human minds, and the limits and possibilities of communication. We’ll aim to test the authors’ arguments along with our own views. I’ll provide written questions before each class, which will serve as starting points for our discussions. All required texts will be posted as PDF files on the course site on Canvas.
