Philosophy of Mind

Philosophy of Mind investigates the relationship between minds and bodies and the nature of mental phenomena such as thoughts, desires, and qualia (qualitative states such as the experience of seeing red or tasting a peach). We will consider questions such as, what is the relationship between the mind and the brain? How are thoughts, sensations, emotions and consciousness related to and integrated with the activities of our brains and bodies? We will consider some historical responses to these issues, but will focus on contemporary philosophy of the mind.
