This video was played during the inquest into Barter’s disappearance which concluded last week at Byron Bay Courthouse.Ĭounsel Assisting the NSW Coroner Teresa O’Sullivan, Adam Casselden SC, who had spent six days interrogating Blum, asked whether those answers were truthful, to which he replied, “Yes”. This paper will describe an upper-division, undergraduate course in philosophy of mind for readers who are less familiar with this area of philosophy.Gold Coast teacher Marion Barter went missing in 1997.
Moreover, students from other fields, such as psychology and the arts, will find that coming to understand issues in philosophy of mind complements their understanding of empirical findings related to the mind and cognition, cultivates their intellectual imaginations, and allows them to develop both their analytical and creative skills. Still, it is a core area of philosophical inquiry that is fascinating for its own sake, and it provides students the opportunity to do more advanced work in philosophy. Philosophy of mind is what Russell (1946) would describe as " philosophy for philosophers " in that it is a highly specialized field with no obvious practical value. Finally, several solutions to common challenges that arise in an advanced philosophy course are discussed. The course described here focuses on just two of the main problems in philosophy of mind-the mind-body problem and the problem of phenomenal consciousness-and briefly touches on other issues one might address. This course, aimed at the advanced undergraduate student, provides students with the tools necessary for understanding some of the key readings in contemporary philosophy of mind and offers unique benefits to both majors and non-majors. This paper is intended to provide a framework for instructors with little background in this area of philosophy to develop a course in philosophy of mind. Without a good understanding of the historical framework, the technical terminology, the philosophical methodology, and the nature of the philosophical problems themselves, not only do undergraduate students face a difficult challenge when taking a first course in philosophy of mind, but instructors lacking specialized knowledge in this field might be put off from teaching the course. The most notable contributions to contemporary philosophy of mind have been written by philosophers of mind for philosophers of mind.
