Faglig innhold
What is the mind? What constitutes a thinking or intelligent system, be it biological or artificial? What is consciousness? How do any of these things relate to the physical and social environment? Examples of more specific questions in this area include: What is the relation between mind and brain? How can we know what other people think, perceive, or feel? To what extent can the mind be explained or illuminated scientifically, for example by neuroscience, psychology or other fields in cognitive science? While previous knowledge of such fields is not required, students will have the chance to integrate their knowledge from those or other specialist fields with themes from contemporary philosophy of mind and philosophy of cognitive science. In this way, they contribute to an interdisciplinary understanding of the scope and possibilities of explaining the mind in a naturalistic manner.
