hmm i think i'll do ethics next sem/year

is practical much like moral psych in yr opinioned guess?
Well the argument from queerness goes something like... We make obervations about the world through experience, for example we can see the sky is blue, smell, taste, touch and hear things. But when we judge something to be morally right or wrong, we don't rely on our senses to come to this conclusion, but through our intuition. Mackie just thinks that's queer. That's what my tutor said.

Re: Semester 1 Chatter Thread

6 Consider the inverted spectrum argument. How is it different from and similar to the Knowledge argument?
7 Explain and evaluate the Knowledge argument.
8 How does the issue of consciousness relate to qualia in your view? Is the problem of consciousness an extra problem on top of qualia?
9. Discuss the misrepresentation problem, and explain how at least two different approaches to it (learning period, asymmetric dependence, and teleological) deal with it. Do they work?
10 Critically evaluate the arguments for the Language of Thought and/or the Map Theory

11 Evaluate teleological (biological functional) theories of content. Explain the role of a biological theory of function is a teleological theory of content.

12 How do beliefs and desires explain if they do? What room would there be for psychological explanation if we ever have a complete nuerosceintific explanation of behaviour?


which question should i do?


edit: cept the last one. that's a bitch

Well I don't know anything about them, but it's a toss-up between 8, 9 & 10.

The word qualia seems familiar. I read about it in DBM's book.

one of the reasons you were bullied so much was because of your ugly face.

I'm interested in qualia/consiousness but i think it's a bit over my head until i've done a million (read:60) pages of reading.

map theory is simpler... but more boring. hmm

You're both so bitter and angry that neither of you have attractive internet personas.
