Reading assignment for Week
of Feb 5 (will be discussed in lab section for Week 3)
"Where am I" by Daniel Dennett
This is a thought-provoking narrative about the nature of thought and the subjective
sense of self, written by the well-known philosopher of mind, Daniel Dennett.
As you read the story, carefully consider some of the issues he raises (e.g.,
"Where might we locate the sense of self in space, and in what sense
is the answer to that question dependent upon some of the situations he has
created?").
