PHIL 390 - Seminar: People and Selves

FC ARHU WADV

4 credits
Is there such a thing as the self? If so, what is it? We will explore these and related questions, including questions about the nature of people and their existence over time. We will approach these questions through the lens of analytic philosophy, but there will be a special emphasis on engaging with Buddhist ideas about the nature and existence of the self, and our exploration will also be informed by neuroscience and contemporary empirical psychology.
Prerequisites & Notes: Two full courses in Philosophy
