Lesson 6: Philosophy of Mind Part 1 - Discussion Board
In the Discussion Board for Lesson 6, explain why you think dualism, either generally or with reference to substance dualism or property dualism specifically, is or is not a viable explanation for who or what we are as human beings. Which of the arguments provided in Lesson 6 provide strong support for or against dualism in one form or another?
For all Discussion Boards, be sure to include citations for the main arguments in your opening post.
- When you refer to a specific item in the lesson, then a shorthand parenthetical citation is all that is needed. For example, (Presentation on Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”, slide 4); or, (Velasquez, p. 6); or, (Illustration of Plato’s “Allegory of the Cave”, 3:30).
- When you reference a source outside of the lesson, please provide enough information for us to find your reference.
In your posts, be respectful.
