New Perspectives in Philosophy of Mind

The purpose of the course is to give participants a view of the current landscape of analytic philosophy of mind, by introducing them to new work and emerging approaches. Because the aim of the course is to present a variety of cutting-edge work and new methodologies, it does not focus on a single topic within the philosophy of mind. However, a common thread running through most of the research to be discussed is a de-centering of historically dominant programs in analytic philosophy of mind, which tended to be narrowly focused on reductive mind-body metaphysics, and the exploration of topics and methods previously sidelined or ignored within this program. Areas of focus are:

Analytic Phenomenology

Olfactory Experience

Imagination

Attention

Feminist Philosophy of Mind

Substance Dualism
