Dr. Charles Wallis
Monday & Wednesday  Â·  2:00pm–3:15pm  Â·  LA5–246

This course takes a historical approach to examining the development of the concept of mind in antiquity, as well as the development of the contemporary sciences that constitute cognitive science. We will then examine contemporary topics, debates, and methodology of philosophy of mind and the various cognitive sciences with emphasis on psychology and neuroscience. Topics include but are not limited to the nature of mental representation, human memory systems, human inference abilities, and the nature and significance of qualitative conscious experience.
