PH 362 - Philosophy of Mind and Neuroethics

What is the nature of mind and consciousness, and how are they related to brain activity and to the body, more generally? Is there free will? Can we ever know the minds of others? The course treats both these timeless questions and timely issues in philosophy of neuroscience, neuro-philosophy, and neuro-ethics. A basic neuroscience background is helpful but not presupposed or necessary.
