Systematic introduction to core questions of the philosophy of mind: What is consciousness? How
does the mind relate to the body? How does the mind relate to the world through perception, thought,
emotions, and actions? Case-based exploration of the consequences answers to these questions have
for our conception of, e.g., reality, social relations, moral values, and a person or self.
