PHL 471 - Philosophy of Mind

Institution:

SUNY College at Oswego

Subject:

Description:

Without thinking much about it, we rely on some sort of contrast between physical things and mental things. What is the basis of this contrast? Are mental things like believing, hoping, perceiving, and feeling just various sorts of physical things? Or is the contrast so strong that mental things are entirely different in nature from any kinds of physical things or physical events? Or is our habit of relying on a contrast between them simply based on confusion or on worn-out, indefensible assumptions? We address these questions and others in this course. Prerequisites: Phl 220 and upper division standing or permission of instructor. Fl-3-
