Consciousness is believed by many to be the last remaining mystery in a world that has otherwise been mapped out by the natural sciences. Some say that consciousness can be brought within a naturalistic worldview; others hold that conscious experience is something altogether different from the world of nature. In this course we will examine several important attempts to explain consciousness and to assess whether it is a purely natural phenomenon. In so doing, we will also try to reach a clearer understanding of what would and would not count as a naturalization of the mind.
