Assignment:
In this Discussion Board, you have a choice! You can write your initial post about either substance dualism or physicalism.
• If you chose to write your initial post on substance dualism, briefly explain your understanding of Princess Elisabeth's response when evaluating substance dualism.
(More info on substance dualism is in this Unit's W. Russ Payne reading. More info on Princess Elisabeth's response is in this Unit's Jeff Speaks reading.)
• If you choose to write your initial post on physicalism, briefly explain your understanding of either the consciousness response or the intentionality response when evaluating physicalism.
(More info on versions of physicalism is in this Unit's W. Russ Payne reading. More info on the consciousness response is in this Unit's David Chalmers reading. More info on the intentionality response is in this Unit's Addison Ellis reading.)
No matter which theory of mind you decide to write about, explain your opinions of the theory and response. Do you think the theory is good, or do you side with the refutation of it?
Finally, introduce a conversation starter: a question about your topic, or evidence supporting one side of the topic. For instance, what questions do you have about the theory and refutation that would help you better understand them? Or what evidence do you have to support the side you are on? Or what evidence can you think of that supports the other side?
