Information
Aims, contents and method of the course
In this course we will study the mind. In the first part of the course, we will take a tour through historically influential views from dualism to functionalism. And we will get acquainted with the currently dominant view of the mind as a computer and the so-called Representational Theory of Mind, as well as challenges to it. In the second and third parts of the course we will look in depth at classical and more recent work on intentionality and representation and study different approaches to consciousness and the question of its value. As a result, you will gain a broad overview of the sort of work done in contemporary philosophy of mind and the ability to critically engage with it.
