Mind reading (November 2014)

The reason I think this month’s topic is so interesting is because it’s a very live topic in philosophy. There a lots of different theories out there and careers are being established, lost and resurrected as new research emerges.

Here are two good places to start. It shouldn’t take more than about 20-30 minutes to read both articles and if this is all you read, there will be plenty to talk about for 2 hours!

For those of you who have more time and just can’t get enough Philosophy of Mind, here’s a bag of goodies.
