PHIL 000/5130 - Philosophy of Mind (3 cr.)
Description
This course is an introduction to the philosophy of mind. Philosophy of mind is a branch of philosophy that deals with the analysis and resolution of conceptual questions concerning the nature of the mind. Research in the philosophy of mind tackles such questions as: What is a mind? What is consciousness? Is a person’s mind a distinct thing from her body? Could a sufficiently complicated artificial neural network or robot be a conscious agent, in the fullest possible sense? Questions such as these clearly straddle a boundary between conceptual analysis and empirical science. Therefore, philosophy of mind is an interdisciplinary subject, which draws on cutting-edge research from a diverse range of fields, including psychology, neuroscience, cognitive science, and computer science
