  Am I a material brain, an immaterial consciousness, or both? This course begins with modern criticisms of Descartes classic dualism and examines contemporary efforts to understand how purely physical objects such as human brains (and perhaps computers) may nevertheless be said to have mental traits, e.g., thoughts and beliefs. Explored are behaviorist, functionalist, and information-representation approaches.
