Philosophy 35 - Philosophy of Mind

Institution:

Dartmouth College

Subject:

Description:

09W, 10W: 12 In this course, we will consider different views of the relationship between mind and brain, from Dualism to contemporary versions of Materialism and Functionalism. We will consider whether any materialist view of the mind can adequately account for consciousness. We may also look into the nature of mental representation and into epistemological questions such as whether we are the ultimate authorities on our own thoughts and whether we can have knowledge of other minds. Other possible topics include split-brain patients, personal identity, and animal minds. Prerequisite: Philosophy 1, 2, 3, 6, 8, or 9, or permission of the instructor. Dist: TMV. Kulvicki.
