Is Mind Distinct from Body?

In this introductory program on the mind-body problem from 1998, the relation between mind and body is discussed by various philosophers (including W. V. Quine, David Chalmers, Paul Churchland, Daniel Dennett, Hilary Putnam, Hubert Dreyfus, Charles Taylor, John Searle, and Nicholas Jolley). Among other things, they discuss Descartes' dualism, Thomas Hobbes' materialism, Gilbert Ryle's behaviorism, the Turing Test, the Chinese Room, and reductionism. This comes from the 1998 Εxαminϵd Life series. Uploaded 30-06-24 #philosophy #consciousness #metaphysics #philosophyofmind #materialism #mind #descartes Learn more about your ad choices.
