Mindware

simon — Thu, 06/12/2008 - 18:44

The Philosophy of Mind is an area that I'm quite interested in.  Last year I studied a course by the same name (Philosophy of Mind) which I found fascinating.  I wasn't quite sure where I stood before I started the course, and, to be honest, I'm not that certain where I stand after the course too.  I was, however, attracted to the philosophy of Ned Block.

Anyhow, the reason for this post is that I'm taking another Philosophy of Mind course this semester, this time it's Philosophy and Cognitive Science and the set-text is fantastic!  It's Mindware: an Introduction to the Philosophy of Cognitive Science by Andy Clark.  I haven't gotten too far into the course yet (it's week two now) but I've read the text from cover-to-cover and it has been quite inspiring.  All the talk of Homunculus Heads in Ned Block will really pay off here I think.

Errata

Slight error in the above post.  The subject I studied last year was titled Body and Mind, not Philosophy of Mind.  You'll find my papers for that course here.

All is not gold that glitters. All roads lead to Rome.
