Purpose:
The purpose of this assignment is to give you practice in identifying metaphysical questions (Outcome 2), differentiating between a rhetorically good argument and a rationally good one (Outcome 5), and being able to reconstruct arguments given by philosophers (Outcome 6) and to have you think about the philosophers which we have read and talked about (this is partially Student Outcome 8).
Task:
There are two different assignments possible, you are to choose one of them and do it.
Task A:
Tim Crane in “The Mind-Body Problem” gives many different stances regarding the problem and their own problems. Choose one of those pairs (the stance and its problem), explain to me both and tell me why you think it is a problem or not a problem.
The point break-down is:
5pts to choose a pair (make it obvious)
5pts for explaining the stance
5pts for explaining the problem given
5pts for telling me why you think it is good or bad
Task B:
This was not a paper we covered in class but it is a personal favorite of mine. The paper is Minds, Brains, and Programs by John Searle . Being able to do this assignment will really prove to me that you can do this kind of work, as I have not helped you in any way. In the paper, Searle gives a thought-experiment against strong AI. What was this thought experiment? What does he claim it shows? What was his argument? Was it any good?
The breakdown is:
5pts to explain the thought experiment
5pts for explaining what Searle claims this shows
5pts for explaining his argument
5pts for telling me why you think it is good or bad
Each of these should take you around a paragraph to answer. Each of them are worth 5pts. Since this is worth 20pts, this is worth 5% of your total grade.
