Overview: The quest to understand the mind has motivated some of history’s most profound thinkers. But only in our own time are we beginning to see the true complexity of this quest, as today’s philosophers draw on the latest evidence from neuroscience, psychology, artificial intelligence, linguistics, and other fields to probe deeply into the inner workings of the mind.
These 24 stimulating lectures from an award-winning teacher and honored scholar present a clear, systematic, and compelling introduction to the philosophy of mind, exploring all of the major theories, including: Dualism, which holds that body and mind are separate substances; Behaviorism and Functionalism, which stress behavior and interactions with the world as clues to the mind’s inner workings;. Idealism, the view that the physical world is an illusion and that only the mental realm exists; and the “antitheories” of mind, which posit that subjective mental experiences are fundamentally inexplicable and will always remain a mystery.
Examining the most intriguing questions and influential theories in what can often be a complex and often controversial intellectual terrain, Professor Grim sorts out the different approaches to give you the pros and cons of each.
