This course is an introduction to contemporary philosophy of mind. We will consider issues in the metaphysics of mind (how is the mind related to the body? What makes you the same person today that you were when you were a child?) the epistemology of mind (how do we know that other people have minds? How do we know our own minds?) and the engineering of the mind (can computers think?). Topics covered include: the mind/body problem, other minds, artificial intelligence, personal identity, animal minds, emotion, perception, and belief. The course will be of interest to students in philosophy, psychology, the arts, and social sciences. Readings will primarily be drawn from the anthology Philosophy of Mind: Classical and Contemporary Readings, David Chalmers (ed.) Oxford: Oxford University Press. 2002.
