PHIL 455 - Mind, Consciousness and Language
This course explores the mystery of consciousness in a physical world, surveying theories of the relation of mind to body, the nature of consciousness, the possibility of artificial intelligence, and the relationship between thought and language. The problem of how minds represent reality and whether those representations are accurate is addressed through a study of theories of linguistic meaning.

PHIL 481 - Philosophy and the Nature of Reality
This course explores questions about ultimate reality: What exists? Why is there something rather than nothing? What makes something possible or necessary? Do humans have free will? Is freedom compatible with determinism? What am I? Is there life after death? What makes the future different from the past? What does it mean for one thing to cause another?
