Introducing Consciousness: Course Description
'Introducing Consciousness' presents various approaches to defining consciousness. Discussions detail philosophers' trouble defining the basic concept of human experience. Readings and exercises consider whether consciousness is a physiological phenomenon or metaphysical one. Further readings explore whether finding a reductive explanation for consciousness is possible, if it has a physiological basis. Further units in the OpenCourseWare discuss additional issues in pinning down consciousness to a definition or mechanism. Advanced philosophy OpenCourseWare takes approximately 20 hours to complete.
