課程概述

This is an interdisciplinary course on the nature of self-consciousness. What does it mean to say that I am conscious of myself? How is self-consciousness different from consciousness of objects? Can there be a distinction between self-as-subject and self-as-object? Traditionally, philosophers tackle these issues using only conceptual analysis. We intend to do more in this course. That is, we will draw on empirical findings in neural science to investigate the fundamental features of self-consciousness. Both philosophical views and empirical studies will be discussed. We will consider several empirical cases related to self-consciousness and examine their philosophical implications. By incorporating cognitive neuroscience into our discussions, we will learn how philosophers may make progress on these issues.
本課程分為下列單元：
1. Self-consciousness and Immunity
2. Mental Ownership vs. Body Ownership
3. The Self-Model Theory of Subjectivity
4. Bodily Self-consciousness
5. Empirical Cases and their Implications
6. Philosophical Reflections the Next Steps
 

課程目標
 There are three goals in this course: first, we aim to obtain a deeper understanding of the nature of self-consciousness. Second, students learn how to read philosophical texts carefully and write clearly. Third, students try to develop their own thoughts on some of the important issues. 
課程要求
 學生除了得花功夫研讀困難的哲學作品，在上課時參與討論，評估各種立場的論證，也需要在作業中提出自己的觀點，並加以辯護。
