In 24 lectures, Professor Grim engages the student to explore answers on the inner workings of the human mind, like: - Do other people have a mind like yours and, if so, how do you know? - Is your mind something distinct from your body, or do ordinary physiological processes produce minds? - Can a machine have a mind? - What is consciousness? - Do you have free will? - Is everything you are now experiencing actually happening, or is that an elaborate illusion created by the mind?
