I have successfully completed the third course of the Summer School in Oxford!
This time we studied — “Consciousness, Brain and Soul. The Philosophical Enigma of the Mind.”
You may ask what can be studied in a week. Here’s what:
1. An introduction to the “hard” problem of consciousness.
2. Descartes’ arguments for substance dualism.
3. Free will; David Chalmers’ argument.
4. Panpsychism – consciousness everywhere?
5. Can a machine have a mind?
6. Behaviorism and functionalism.
7. Eliminative materialism and the problem of other minds.
8. Kripke’s argument against physicalism.
9. Wittgenstein and the illusionist turn.
10. Wittgenstein on bugs and private languages.
