SUMMARY:The Self: What Philosophy, Psychology, and Neuroscience Tell Us (spring term)
DESCRIPTION:<p>Marie-Christine Nizzi / Philosophy / <a href="mailto:mnizzi@fas.harvard.edu">mnizzi@fas.harvard.edu</a></p><p>*Mind, Brain, and Behavior 94z, Wednesdays 1-3 p.m., William James Hall 474</p><p>Click <a href="/file_url/126">here </a>for final syllabus.</p><p>Gives a more integrative understanding to sense of self using philosophical theories, neuropsychological quantitative cognitive tests, and neurological conditions involving self disorders. Considers two primary dimensions for sense of self: the diachronic self as based on memory and the synchronic self grounded in the body. Topics include personal identity, mind/brain reduction, first vs. third person perspective, phenomenology of self, introspection, quantitative vs. qualitative methods. Provides appreciation of the advantage of bringing together cross-disciplinary perspectives (neurological, philosophy, and psychology) and research methods (introspection, philosophical intuitions, psychometric tests, behavioral tests, empirical research, and clinical approach).
