PHIL 35 Mind and Psychology

The mind is both a part of the world and the source of our perspectives on it. A variety of approaches to understanding the mind consider such questions as: What is consciousness? What is it to think about things? How does the world as we know it through the sciences allow for conscious, thinking creatures to exist? Are there unconscious thoughts and desires? Can psychology, neuroscience, philosophy and psychiatry help us answer these questions?

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.
