For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This class is an introduction to many of the central issues in a branch of philosophy called philosophy of mind. Some of the questions we will discuss include the following. Can computers think? Is the mind an immaterial thing? Or is the mind the brain? Or does the mind stand to the brain as a computer program stands to the hardware? How can creatures like ourselves think thoughts that are "about" things? (For example, we can all think that Aristotle is a philosopher, and in that sense think "about" Aristotle, but what is the explanation of this quite remarkable ability?) Can I know whether your experiences and my experiences when we look at raspberries, fire trucks and stop lights are the same? Can consciousness be given a scientific explanation? http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Linguistics-and-Philosophy/24-09Spring-2007/CourseHome/index.htm Byrne, Alex 2007-11-02T04:04:55-04:00 24.09 en-US Linguistics and Philosophy Movement and Mind-Body Therapies and Education, Other mind-body problem qualia individualism meaning relief pain causal theory brain mind rene descartes conciousness mysterianism panprotopsychism chalmer knowledge argument self-knowledge externalism intentionality functionalism identity theory behaviorism dualism AI Searle MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.

For further information see http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/terms/terms/index.htm This course examines the recent philosophy of perception. Topics considered include transparency of experience, consciousness, sensory awareness, content of visual experience, thought ownership, thought disorders, schizophrenia, introspection, and sound. Questions raised by these topics include "Is there a perceptual relation?" and "What is a sound?". We explore these topics through reading, writing, and presentations by the instructors and guests. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Linguistics-and-Philosophy/24-500Spring-2007/CourseHome/index.htm Byrne, Alex Siegel, Susanna 2007-10-24T01:21:02-04:00 24.500 en-US Linguistics and Philosophy Philosophy, Other sound introspection schizophrenia thought disorders thought ownership content of visual experience sensory awareness consciousness transparency of experience philosophy of perception MIT Open Course Ware http://ocw.mit.edu Content within individual OCW courses is (c) by the individual authors unless otherwise noted.
