Both psychoanalysis and behaviourism have been candidates for science of the mind, psychoanalysis being in favour with cartesian substance dualism and behaviourism rejecting it. But, psychoanalysis could not succeed in the scientific realms and behaviourism more or less failed. The other alternative to dualism is the identity theory... #philosophyofmind #dualism #identitytheory #mind #ockhamsrazor #psychoanalysis #hilaryputnam #Qualia #philosophy #gottlobfrege https://philosophyindefinitely.wordpress.com/2020/08/11/the-identity-theory/

‘As real as it ever gets’: Dennett’s conception of the mind | Aeon Essays…

Dennett was a noted stylist and wordsmith too, he was widely read outside of academia. But to say that he was widely read is not to say that he was widely understood, and many have found Dennett’s conception of the mind opaque...

Can computers think? No. They can’t actually do anything | Aeon Essays…

The new AI is unexpectedly reshaping ways of working and making, in the arts and sciences, in industry, and in warfare. We need to come to terms with the transformative promise and dangers of this new tech... Aeon essays #artificialintelligence #philosophyofmind #technology #computing

Excited to announce that from 2024/25, #UCD will offer a taught Masters programme in #PhilosophyOfMind and #EmbodiedCognition. In addition to a wide range of #philosophy modules, students can select options from UCD’s interdisciplinary #CognitiveScience programme. Email or message for details!

To everyone: If you ever come across an interesting insight into #language, #epistemology, #MachineLearning, or #PhilosophyOfMind, I'd love it if you'd tag me in a reply to make sure I see it. Also, if anybody wants to discuss these things, or even tangents to them, I'm probably going to be really excited to hear what you have to say. Thanks in advance!

#Introduction post: I'm an associate professor of #biology at #KyotoUniversity, studying #chromosome dynamics during #meiosis in #nematodes especially #Caenorhabditis_elegans. I enjoy #naturalphilosophy, #philosophyofmind, #chess, #linux, and Japanese calligraphy (#書道).

Here are the chromosomes I study — the maternally- and paternally-derived chromosomes have paired along their lengths and are now undergoing recombination.

Maybe it's time to update my #introduction after more than four years on #Mastodon?

I'm a #PhD of #Psychology and #GenderStudies. I work as a school #psychologist and love my work; the academic world wasn't for me.

My main areas are #GroupPsychology, #SocialPsychology and #CriticalPsychology. Also interested in #FeministPsychology, #SocioculturalPsychology, #PhilosophyOfMind and #Phenomenology.

I blog (in #Swedish) at https://fenomenologen.se.
