Semester Offered: Spring
1 unit(s)

An exploration of competing theories of the mind-including theories that equate the mind with the brain, theories that regard the mind as a social construction, and theories that define the mind by reference to its characteristic functions. The strengths and weaknesses of each of these theories are compared-especially with respect to their understandings of consciousness, self-knowledge, emotion and moral responsibility. Ms. Church.
