Description
The Cartesian Mind. Descartes is supposed to have invented the modern conception of mind as a subject of consciousness. This class will explore this (allegedly) newfangled conception of mind, both in general (how, exactly, does Descartes conceive the mind?) and through a number of its notable features and operations, including consciousness, intentionality, representation, sensory perception, imagination, intellection, will, passions, and embodied experience.
