課程概述

Perception, thought, intentionality, and consciousness involve mental representations. We perceive and think about the world. We have impressions, images, ideas, and dreams. “Through” these we relate to the world. But what are they? Are they real things of some sort? The world itself might be out of reach, a “thing in itself” as Kant put it. What we perceive might be an illusion, as Descartes imagined. We might be in the Matrix. During the last one-hundred years, neuroscience and AI made new discoveries. But they still face old philosophical problems. Can animals think? Does an AI perceive? Most of today’s relevant terminology in the West (fantasy, imagination, perception, idea, reality, mental, representation, intentionality, consciousness) is derived from Ancient Greek and Latin. We are entangled in old terminologies and old ideas, conceptions, and problems. Regarding the question of what mental representations such as perception and thought are, we will introduce and discuss ideas from Kant, Schopenhauer, Brentano, Husserl, Merleau-Ponty, and present writers in analytic philosophy, phenomenology, brain science, computer science, and AI research. 

課程目標
The course objective is to learn about the nature of perception, thought, intentionality, mind, and consciousness by reading traditional works from Kant to philosophers and scientists of our time in phenomenology, analytic philosophy, brain science, computer science, and AI.
