PH330 Philo of Mind and Human Nature
PH200W or
PO211 or
PO212, HO 206 or equivalent
Our study of the relation between mind and body will lead naturally into a study of will and intellect, emotion, free choice, and human action. We will also consider whether the mind depends on the body, and whether humans have an immortal soul. Other topics studied may include nature and convention, language and concepts, personality and community. This course provides the conceptual background for further philosophical studies of ethics, politics, aesthetics, and epistemology. Offered every fall.
