Lesson 7: Philosophy of Mind Part 2 - Discussion Board
In the Discussion Board for Lesson 7, explain which alternative to dualism offers the best solution to the mind-body problem, or why even the best alternative fails. Why does it matter if dualism is correct or not? How do the ideas presented about the mind-body problem impact our understanding of and actions related to any other ideas or issues we are facing in the world today?
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.
