Course Description
The Philosophy of Mind course does not require previous experience with logic, but it probably should. A new idea is revered as philosophical gold each morning, holding strong under the weak arguments of the dazed class... only to be challenged by a foe of equal textual length and dryness during study hall, and dashed to pieces by the next morn. But never fear! A new theory shall rise from the ashes of its predecessor like a phoenix of mental overstimulation! Repeat ad infinitum.
Take the class anyway, though. Making fun of each successive philosopher will be worth it.
Also, be wary of Evil Genius. He sneaks up on you and BAM! forces you to change your debate strategy 3 minutes and 21 seconds before the actual debate.
Fun Facts
Philosophy of Mind A at Carlisle, Session 2, 2005 consisted of wondefully spiffy people. They were Alex, George, Freak -I mean Daniel, Eva, Sarah, Caitlin, Erika, and Mel(eroni)/Olivia.
Alas, their hypothetical pet rat was killed by professor Zsolt when he hit it one too many times, hypothetically. Damn you, Descartes. The poor rat had no chance against skeptical physicalists.
