Faglig innhold
What is the mind? What is a cognitive system? What is consciousness? How do any of these things relate to the (physical, social and technical) world? What is the relation between mind and brain? To what extent can the mind be explained or illuminated scientifically, for example by neuroscience, psychology or other fields of cognitive science? This course aims to allow students to integrate and apply knowledge they already possess from specialist fields of study to themes from contemporary philosophy of mind, thereby providing an interdisciplinary understanding of the scope and possibilities of explaining the mind in a naturalistic manner.
