Foundations of Research in Mind and World - PHIL701
The unit will equip students with the knowledge and skills to carry out research in the broad area of Metaphysics and Epistemology. The focus of the unit is the relationships between mind and the world as mediated by language, science, and culture. The unit will cover classic and important contemporary works on a chosen theme (such as “The Nature of the Conscious Mind”, “Free Will”, “Language and Reality”, or “Scientific Reasoning”) or will be devoted to a study of an important classical text (such as Hume’s “An Enquiry concerning Human Understanding”, Russell’s “The Problems of Philosophy”, or Wittgenstein’s “Philosophical Investigations”.)
