PHIL 384 - Philosophy of Mind and Language

This course explores the mystery of mind. What is a mind? How are minds related to bodies? What is the function of consciousness? Is language necessary for thought? How does language represent reality? Can we truly know what others mean? The controversial views of Hobbes, Descartes, Kant, Russell, and Wittgenstein are considered, as well as those of many recent thinkers.
