PHIL 35 Mind and Psychology
The mind is both a part of the world and the source of our perspectives on it. A variety of approaches to understanding the mind consider such questions as: What is consciousness? What is it to think about things? How does the world as we know it through the sciences allow for conscious, thinking creatures to exist? Are there unconscious thoughts and desires? Can psychology, neuroscience, philosophy and psychiatry help us answer these questions?
