, Week 1: Introduction & dualism
Introduction
Philosophy consist mainly out of 4 questions:
What is …?
What do you mean by that exactly?
What arguments can you give for that?
Is that true though?
Questions in this course
Mind is used as an umbrella term for all sort of mental processes, but what is the mind exactly. What
is the relation of the mind to the body?
What distinguishes science from pseudoscience and what does science look like?
What is free will?
What is the mind? The case of self-control
Blood glucose levels (Galliot and Baumeister, 2007).
What is self- deliberation winning out over impulses (Loewenstein, 2018).
control
(marshmallow test) self-initiated manipulation of surroundings to regulate conflicting impulses in
the service of enduringly valued goals (Duckworth, 2016).
The mind body problem
What is the relation between the mental realm (thoughts, sensations and emotions) and the physical
realm (body)?
Mind-body dualism
“The mental and the physical are both real and neither can be assimilated to the other.”
Substance dualism: Things different things can have different properties
Property dualism: properties 1 substance, but there are 2 properties for example: human
body has a physical and a mental property.
Predicate dualism: terms in our language Purely about the way we speak about body and
mind. Some words have a certain type of functions that cannot be replaced by other words For
example I’m happy and My dopamine level reached a certain level. Both mean the same, but
you use one of the 2.
