CEPL 0907 - Mind and Matter

Institution:

Brown University

Subject:

Description:

This course will focus on what is known as the mind-body problem, the problem of understanding the relationship between the mind and the brain. Your entire mental life-everything you think, feel, and desire- obviously depends on the chemistry of the brain. Furthermore, scientists have made impressive discoveries about which parts of the brain are responsible for which parts of your mental life. But what exactly is the relation between the two? Is the mind simply the same thing as the brain? Or does the brain somehow cause the mind to exist? Or could the dependence be somehow mutual?
