PHIL 473 - Self-Knowledge (3)

We seem to know the contents of our own minds – our sensations, thoughts, beliefs, meanings, intentions, emotions – in a way quite different from, and far more secure than, our knowledge of the external world. Some philosophers have concluded that self-knowledge does not depend on either knowledge or the existence of the external world. This course looks at attempts to account for this peculiar feature of the mind as well as its relation to the external world. Recommended Preparation: One 300-level course in philosophy, especially PHIL 371, PHIL 373, or PHIL 380.
