课程名称：哲学与科学：认知科学哲学导论 课程概述： 本课程关注人类作为知识主体在宇宙中的角色，以及我们作为似乎具备意识的智能认知代理的本质。作为“哲学与科学”系列课程的第二部分，重点探讨认知科学哲学。认知科学的科学研究给哲学家提出了诸多紧迫问题。本课程旨在引导学生了解哲学与认知科学交汇处的一些主要领域和主题。 每周，我们将介绍一些科学研究前沿的重要问题，采用简单非技术性的方式解释每个主题背后的科学，同时探讨由此产生的哲学和概念性问题。课程内容包括： - 心理学哲学：涉及人类思维的演化与意识的本质等问题。 - 神经科学哲学：探讨人类认知的本质以及心智、机器与环境之间的关系。 学习目标： - 在哲学与科学交叉的选定领域和主题上获得全面的视角。 - 理解认知科学中出现的一些关键问题以及概念性难题。 - 发展批判性技能，评估和分析这些问题。 推荐阅读： 为配合《哲学与科学》课程，我们推荐由Routledge出版的《人人适用的哲学与科学》一书，该书由爱丁堡哲学与科学团队为MOOC学生量身打造，含有清晰易懂的章节、章节总结、术语表、学习问题、进一步阅读建议以及在线资源指南。请注意，此附带书籍为可选，完成课程所需的所有资源均可免费获取，且在课程网站上列出。 课程大纲： 1. 《哲学与科学第一部分》 - 该课程是《哲学与科学》联合课程的第二部分。如果希望参与课程的第一部分“物理科学哲学”，请点击下面的链接。 2. 《现代颅骨中的石器时代思维：进化理论与心智哲学》（讲师：斯威林·拉维尔与肯尼·史密斯） - 科学家们一致认为我们的脑容量是自然选择的产物。人类大脑及其认知结构是如何演化的？ 3. 《什么是意识？》（讲师：马克·斯普雷瓦克与大卫·卡梅尔） - 为什么像我们这样的生物拥有意识？是什么使我们的某些心理活动具有意识，而其他则没有？ 4. 《智能机器与人类大脑》（讲师：马克·斯普雷瓦克与佩吉·塞里斯） - 如何制造一种聪明的自适应机器，能够识别语音、控制飞机和检测信用卡欺诈？ 5. 《具身认知》（讲师：安迪·克拉克与巴巴拉·韦布） - 具身认知关注的是活跃的身体与复杂环境对大脑执行任务的影响，讨论如何在适应性成功中发挥作用。 本课程旨在帮助学生探索和理解认知科学与哲学的交集，促进对人类智能和意识的深入思考。

Course Description What is our role in the universe as human agents capable of knowledge? What makes us intelligent cognitive agents seemingly endowed with consciousness? This is the second part of the course 'Philosophy and the Sciences', dedicated to Philosophy of the Cognitive Sciences. Scientific research across the cognitive sciences has raised pressing questions for philosophers. The goal of this course is to introduce you to some of the main areas and topics at the key juncture between philosophy and the cognitive sciences. Each week we will introduce you to some of these important questions at the forefront of scientific research. We will explain the science behind each topic in a simple, non-technical way, while also addressing the philosophical and conceptual questions arising from it. Areas you’ll learn about will include: Philosophy of psychology, among whose issues we will cover the evolution of the human mind and the nature of consciousness. Philosophy of neurosciences, where we’ll consider the nature of human cognition and the relation between mind, machines, and the environment. Learning objectives Gain a fairly well-rounded view on selected areas and topics at the intersection of philosophy and the sciences Understand some key questions, and conceptual problems arising in the cognitive sciences. Develop critical skills to evaluate and assess these problems. Suggested Readings To accompany 'Philosophy and the Sciences', we are pleased to announce a tie-in book from Routledge entitled 'Philosophy and the Sciences for Everyone'. This course companion to the 'Philosophy and the Sciences' course was written by the Edinburgh Philosophy and the Sciences team expressly with the needs of MOOC students in mind. 'Philosophy and the Sciences for Everyone' contains clear and user-friendly chapters, chapter summaries, glossary, study questions, suggestions for further reading and guides to online resources. Please note, this companion book is optional - all the resources needed to complete the course are available freely and listed on the course site.
