Philosophy of Psychology

This course will introduce students to the core problems in the philosophy of psychology. We will study the debates around issues such as the nature of human rationality, the extent of self-knowledge, the competing claims around free will and human responsibility, and the nature of moral judgment and moral motivation. Throughout the course, our main goal will be to observe how the theoretical and conceptual character of philosophical inquiry and the empirical and practical approach of the discipline of psychology can inform and complement one another in exploring these core problems.
