This was a very interesting week for me! We were concerned with the relationship between brains, minds, and computers – something that I have thought about for a long time.
While listening to the lecture, I was startled to hear about Gettier and Gettier cases and to realize that I had no idea who this famous philosopher was and what his startling achievement had been.
I have really enjoyed the first week of Introduction to Philosophy! The lectures and readings have me thinking, and I am especially impressed with the erudite postings in the discussion board.
My two Coursera MOOCs from the University of Edinburgh, Introduction to Philosophy and E-Learning and Digital Cultures, are now open, and they are BOTH fascinating.
