PHIL 1.10 Minds, Meanings, and Images

Most things don’t mean anything. How is it that the contents of language and mental states can mean something? How do images represent or depict their objects? What do different answers to such questions tell us about the nature of minds, consciousness, and representation? What do different answers presuppose about reality and our capacity to know it? This course will focus on historical answers to such questions with an eye toward comparing common reference points in contemporary philosophy.

The Timetable of Class Meetings contains the most up-to-date information about a course. It includes not only the meeting time and instructor, but also its official distributive and/or world culture designation. This information supersedes any information you may see elsewhere, to include what may appear in this ORC/Catalog or on a department/program website. Note that course attributes may change term to term therefore those in effect are those (only) during the term in which you enroll in the course.
