Pensum/l?ringskrav

Kursbeskrivelse (norsk):

Dette kurset vil fokusere p? “the hard problem of consciousness”: Hvordan oppst?r bevisstheten fra det fysiske? Eller, hvorfor er noen fysiske prosesser ledsaget av subjektive, fenomenale opplevelser? Vi vil ta for oss tre hovedteorier: fysikalisme, dualisme og panpsykisme, med ekstra fokus p? panpsykisme.
