63. Donald Davidson [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] Introduction to one of the most significant philosophers concerned with philosophy of mind and action of the 20th/21st century. http://www.iep.utm.edu/d/davidson.htm

Donald Davidson (b. 1917) Table of Contents (Clicking on the links below will take you to those parts of this article) 1. Life and Influences 2. Anomalism of the Mental 3. Causal Explanation of Action 1. Life and Influences Donald Davidson, one of the most significant philosophers of the XX century, was born 6 March, 1917 in Springfield, Massachusetts. He studied English, Comparative Literature and Classics in his undergraduate years at Harvard. In his sophomore year at Harvard, Davidson attended two classes that made a lasting impression on him. These two classes on philosophy were taught by Alfred North Whitehead in the last year of his career. Davidson was then accepted to graduate studies in philosophy at Harvard, where his teacher was Willard Van Orman Quine. Quine set Davidson on a course in philosophy quite different from that of Whitehead. Subsequently, Davidson did his dissertation on Plato's Philebus According to Davidson, "The central thesis that emerged was that when Plato had reworked the theory of ideas as a consequence of the explorations and criticisms of the Parmenides, Sophist, Theaetetus

65. Philosophy Of Mind By Roger Jones philosophy of mind, Introduction to philosophy since the Enlightenment by Roger Jones. http://www.philosopher.org.uk/mind.htm

Philosophy of mind It is often thought that the main defining characteristic of a person is that a person has consciousness, mind or soul. We are all aware of consciousness (our feelings, thoughts and sensations), however it is more difficult to say what consciousness is. Plato(c. 427-347 BC) thought that what we really are is our soul, and that this soul will survive after death, indeed death is seen as the release of the soul. Plato is thus asserting that soul and body are distinct substances, bodies die, but souls are immortal. Aristotle (384-322 BC) Thought that the soul and the body are essentially related. The soul is not a separate substance, but an arrangement of stuff, or material substance, of which the body is made. As Aristotle once said, "If an axe had a soul, its soul would be cutting" For Aristotle then individual immortality seems impossible. Modern philosophy has developed these 2 themes in a number of ways. Stimulated by Descartes , Leibniz suggested that mind and body only appear to interact: in reality there is no relation between the 2 substances, rather God has pre-established a harmony so that our minds and bodies do not fall out of sync. He uses the analogy of the 2 clocks to illustrate his point. God is seen the master craftsman who has created 2 clocks of such perfection that they always show the same time. Whilst this point of view does not rule out immortality, it does seem that free will can not exist as god has pre-established all possible activities.

66. Dictionary Of Philosophy Of Mind - Compositionality Entry in the Dictionary of philosophy of mind, by Ken Awiza. http://artsci.wustl.edu/~philos/MindDict/compositionality.html

we've moved to philosophy.uwaterloo.ca/MindDict . Please update any links and go there for the latest version. compositionality Representations may be said to be compositional insofar as they retain the same meaning across diverse contexts. Thus, "kick" means the same thing in the context of "-the ball", "- a rock", and "- a dog", although it changes meaning in the context of "- the bucket". One might say that according to the principle of the compositionality of representations atomic representations make the same semantic contribution in every context in which they occur. See systematicity productivity symbolicism The term "compositionality of representations" is also used to refer to a putative psychological regularity that is supposed to support the view that there exists a syntactically and semantically combinatorial language of thought. The locus classicus for this argument is Fodor and Pylyshyn, 1988. According to Fodor and Pylyshyn, in normal cognitive agents, there exist intrinsic connections between some thoughts and others. Thoughts come in clumps. This putative fact is the systematicity of cognitive representations. The compositionality of representations says something about the nature of the thoughts that are intrinsically connected. It says something about the nature of the clumps of mental thoughts: the thoughts in the clumps are

Book Symposia What this page is and how to use it Philosophy of mind and the philosophical issues arising in the allied domain of cognitive sciences constitute a fast developing territory, which is very well introduced by a number of excellent web resources (see our choice at RECOMMENDED LINKS section). In the hope not just to follow the stream, but to be interestingly complementary to them, more focused views of specific regions will be supplied here. We call them GUIDED TOURS , each being an in depth exploration of a particular topic that comprises two parts: 1) a preliminary state-of-the-art report on the issue, which explains what the question is, how it arises and what ramifications result from it; how the debate goes on with all the theories, objections, proposed solutions, etc. 2) a bibliographical guide to the relevant literature, which consists of copiously annotated items. Such a bibliography does not aim at an abstract completeness, but it should reasonably cover all the material worth mentioning, or at least what so seems in the opinion of the author. As it is in the ‘field guide’ genre, the reader is provided with helpful signposts by experienced authors, but is encouraged to eventually take his own path. In the continuous effort of enlarging and keeping them updated, the ‘tours’ will be always in progress. Annotated items can be individually searched in the

Philosophy of Mind Assoc. Prof. James Pryor I last offered this course at Harvard in Spring 2002; the web site contains material from that version of the course. I will update the web site when I next teach the course. - James Pryor 7/21/02 Course Description This course is a survey of central issues in contemporary philosophy of mind. We will consider: different accounts of the relation between minds and the physical world, including questions about whether computers could ever have thoughts or consciousness questions about how much our thoughts and experiences depend on the nature of our environments, and how much they're determined by our own intrinsic make-up problems about how the mental causally interacts with the physical Who Should Take This Course? This course is not intended as an introduction to philosophy. It's intended as a survey of contemporary work in philosophy of mind for students with some philosophical background . (Grad students see below.) I will assume that you have prior experience writing philosophical papers, reading philosophical texts critically, analyzing and criticizing philosophical arguments, and so on. If you've already taken another course or two from members of the philosophy department (this includes some MR courses), that should be adequate preparation. If you've just "read and thought a lot" about the issues this course covers, that tends not to be adequate preparation. It won't have given you practice and feedback on writing philosophical papers; and it won't have given you experience analyzing arguments in the way we'll be doing in this class.

Philosophy of Mind: A Functionalist Primer An excerpt from the online hypertext Human Knowledge: Foundations and Limits Philosophy Of Mind : the study of the faculty for thinking and knowing. Essence of Mind Accidence of Mind Relations of Mind Minds and ideas, like all of reality , consist ultimately of matter . Mental states are functional states consisting of causal relations among components for processing information. Theories of Mind Philosophers often divide all phenomena into three kinds: mind (or spirit or soul): that which can think and perceive; ideas (or universals or forms): that which can be thought; and matter (or substance): that which can be perceived. Human theories of mind differ according to how they explain these phenomena in general and the Mind-Body Problem in particular. The Mind-Body Problem is the problem of explaining how mindless unconscious matter can give rise to or interact with mind and consciousness . Human theories of mind include: Idealism is the thesis that reality consists ultimately of mind and ideas rather than matter. Dualism is the thesis that reality consists ultimately of both the material or physical and the ideal or mental.
