FALL 2020 will focus on: Idealisms and Panpsychisms. In this class on the metaphysics of mind we'll wrestle with some of the strangest theories about minds and thinking ever invented: idealism and panpsychism. Many thinkers in the 17th and 18th centuries were idealists of various stripes: they held that reality as such is in some way dependent on, and even reducible to, mental stuff. Many others were panpsychists of various stripes: they held all things in some sense think. We'll read the works of Descartes, Cavendish, Malebranche, Spinoza, Leibniz, More, Locke, Hume, Berkeley, and Kant. We'll be working with concepts such as mind, idea, perception, sensation, consciousness, intentionality, phenomenal unity, and self-consciousness.
