What is the relationship between the mind and the brain? Is the mind a reducible, physical system, or is there anything more to consciousness? It’s often taken for granted that the human mind is a kind of computer (and that, similarly, computers can “think,” know, and learn much as humans do). In more classical thought, the mind was frequently regarded as independent of the body, a thing associated with an incorporeal “soul.” But how seriously do we take such metaphors? What does it mean when we say we are thinking and learning? What do we mean by “consciousness”?
In this class, we’ll approach these questions through studying key texts from the philosophy of mind, exploring the so-called “mind-body problem” and the closely related “problem of consciousness.” We’ll read about how or whether neural events in the brain give rise to conscious experience and intelligent behavior, and ask what makes behavior intelligent to begin with. Readings will be drawn from philosophers such as Rene Descartes, Elizabeth Anscombe, Gilbert Ryle, John Searle, Patricia Churchland, Daniel Dennett, David Chalmers, Thomas Nagel, among others.
This course is available for "remote" learning and will be available to anyone with access to an internet device with a microphone (this includes most models of computers, tablets). Classes will take place with a "Live" instructor at the date/times listed below.
Upon registration, the instructor will send along additional information about how to log-on and participate in the class.
