PHIL 225 - Philosophy of Mind

Philosophy of mind deals with very basic questions of who we are. What is the relation between our minds and our bodies in general and our brains in particular? What are the characteristics of the mind that make us (or seem to make us) unique? The course will explore such issues as dualism and materialism, the problems of sensation and of intentionality, computer models for the mind, the nature of human action, and freedom of the will.
