What is the correct metaphysical account of the mind? What is consciousness? What is intentionality? How are these two phenomenon related? Do we need computational theory and dynamical systems theory to account for the mind&?s representational capacity? How are perception and cognition related? The aim of this course is to discuss major themes in contemporary philosophy of mind meant to address these questions.
