The goal of this course is to explore interests and issues from the field of cognitive science that are not discussed in depth in the core cognitive science curriculum. These include methodological issues, the feasibility of functionalism, reductionism, and evolutionary psychological applications, the sources of meaning, and the implications of taking the first vs third person point of view, among others. The course is book-driven and discussion-intense. Ms. Broude.
