A brief recap of last week's topic and an introduction to this week's:

Required Readings

My responses to your critical feedback

Week 2 Assignments (due by 11:59pm on Tuesday, September 8th)

  1. Post an example on Slack

    Schwitzgebel argues that we have far less ability to know our own thoughts than has commonly been assumed by philosophers. Try to think of an example of a situation in which you, someone you know, or a character in a work of fiction (such as a novel, a movie, or a TV show) seemingly lacked access to one of your/their own thoughts or emotions.

    You should post this in the #week2-examples channel on Slack.

  2. Submit critical feedback on this week's reading

    Write a paragraph or two of critical feedback to this week's required reading(s). This could mean asking a detailed question about something that you found confusing, or formulating an objection to something that you found unconvincing, or posting a link to a piece of research that undermines one of the arguments of the reading (and briefly explaining why).

    You should submit your critical feedback in the google form at this link. If you have submitted the form correctly, you will receive an email receipt containing your response. (Make sure to save a copy on your computer first in case something goes wrong, so that you don't have to redo it.)
