All of us have minds, we are pretty certain of that, and yet what are minds? Most of us think that minds have something to do with our brains, but what exactly? This course is an introduction to the Western philosophy of mind and what we know from recent neuroscience of the brain. You will learn about the three principle views on the relationship between the mind and brain--dualism, physicalism, and functionalism--as well as the neuroscientific basis for the modern physicalist view.
