- Get to know the historical background leading to these recent trends
- Come to understand the basic notions of philosophy of mind such as propositional attitudes, phenomenal character, etc.
- Learn how to develop their own position subtending both philosophical argument and empirical research
Content: This lecture introduces students to a variety of research areas at the interface between contemporary philosophy of mind and cognitive science. The focus will be on approaches that highlight that perception and thought are essentially embodied and ecologically embedded. The course will begin with a historical introduction, followed by a discussion of the established philosophical problems of "consciousness" and "intentionality" and will turn to interdisciplinary research on topics such as self-knowledge, “enaction”, extended cognition, predictive processing, and other minds.
