- A brief overview of Philosophy of Mind focusing on the mind/body problem. This video introduces Interactionism, Occasionalism, Parallelism, Epiphenomenalism, Type Identity theory, Functionalism, and Eliminativism.
Thanks a lot for balanced and knowledgeable video.
Very good Barry. I like the analogy of the toe meeting the leg. For decades I have done energy work for what is called the "mental body", and this is the analogy I tell them at the end of the session when ask if their body diss-ease will go away.
"See, your body is not your mind. Imagine your body as a beautiful car. This car has an integrated computer with programs installed to keep it ready for you to get behind the wheel and drive away and, I just cleaned and harmonized your mind, but you have to allow your body to heal itself because it is programmed to do so".
There's more, but it's my basic analogy.
Anyway, I have found that the body has a Finite Mind connected to the Mind of Earth, and the Soul is part of the Infinite Mind connected to the All, the Absolute.
I love this voice behind this educative lecture thanks for this🥰
Thank you very much! It's just my natural voice!
(I like that how you predicated “lecture” as “educative” - in today’s day and age, educative lecture is not a redundancy.)
Thanks a lot Barry. This video is so clear for a beginner like me. It made me very motivated to learn more about the philosophy of mind.
I'm really glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching and keep learning!!
Great video! Your series is an amazing way to find one’s way in philosophy
Thanks for watching and commenting.
That's what they are designed to be; a basic introduction. Glad you found them helpful and always keep digging! There's so much more to learn.
Great and lowly are RELATIVE. 😉
Incidentally, Slave, are you VEGAN? 🌱

Wow! This is very helpful and inspiring. Thank you for sharing.
*Awesome overview*
Thanks!
InspiringPhilosophy has so many good videos arguing for the “soul”. I think he has a series called “Case for the soul” or something. It’s a must watch.
I'll take a look when I get some time. Thanks for the reference!
@@ALittleBitofPhilosophy No problem thanks for the response!
Thank you so much for this amazing video. Do you know about any suitable courses for delving deeper into studying philosophy of mind ?
Superb video
Thanks for watching Mow!
Nicely fine
Could it be possible that stubbing my toe is an example of specification of the human body part? So instead of separating it from our body, verbally, maybe uts a specific locating of our body that is sending the pain signals and therefore being identified out loud?
Where does philosophical anthropology fit into the bigger scheme of philosophy? Are you going to do a lecture on that also. Thank you.
Hi! I'm currently working on putting up videos specific to the PHI 101 class I teach, and we don't really get to 20th Century Philosophy. It's really a groundwork, basic vocab, issues, and players course. At some point in the future I hope to have the time to be more expansive. So thanks for the question and I'll put it on the list for future videos.
@@ALittleBitofPhilosophy Thank you
Religion? Might as well call them the same thing. Philosophy is the anti-thesis that deconstructed the process. The interaction between the two is philosophical anthropology that defined the history of philosophy up until the 20th century. No, you can't do that. They tried to merge and it collapsed.

To put it simply, in recent decades, those persons who exhibit leftist traits such as egalitarianism, feminism, gynocentrism, socialism, multiculturalism, transvestism, homosexuality, perverse morality, and laziness, have been reproducing at rates far exceeding the previous norm, leading to an explosion of insane, narcissistic SOCIOPATHS in (mostly) Western societies.

Thanks for the recommendation.
Lets say theyd no sense of smell sight hearing taste sight. How conscious would they be. They might have only touch and the thoughts touch provided. Their only memories would be of touch. Even helen keler wasnt so deprived.
I believe the mind is a powerful portal of human being to communicate with the spirit world the mind is the most powerful tool in the human I believe it is like a link or a should I say bluetooth which we use to connect deeply with our chosen passion in life . It is also the place where we discover who we are and our pursose in life . The first time I encountered the holy spirit was in my mind and that's when I discovered this truth.
In your own words, define “TRUTH”. ☝️🤔☝️
What about idealism ?
Hi Hugo!
Thanks for watching and commenting. Given the very brief nature of these videos, I'm always struggling with what's most important. I tend to deal with Idealism under Ontology, but of course, it carries over into Phi of Mind (as all such theories rest on ontological assumptions).
That's probably not a great response, but it's the best I've got for now! ;-)
Thinking to study Philosophy in university
There are lots of good reasons for studying Philosophy as an undergraduate, even if you don't intend on an academic career in the field. But I hope you continue to explore Philosophy regardless of whether or not you major in the field.
Thanks for watching!
May I take a guess that you have watched a lot of Vsauce? The way you talk reminds me of him.
Hi Nace!
No, I've never seen it, but my students have told me there is a resemblance.
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Minds are different, not all function the same. We aren't sure how they work, but if they supervene on each other then you can control each other. That's the debate. Then we will do an investigation, then proof it.
Hi Adam!
Thanks for the comment. There are a great many complex and interesting questions that fall into the category of the "Philosophy of Mind". I'm just trying to lay out some of the most basic ones to help folks enter the conversation. I hope my video didn't come across as asserting "the" questions, or "the" answers in an absolute way.
Where does token physicalism fit in here?
Hi Dnya!
I would characterize Token Physicalism as a sub-type of Reductivism. The theory was put forward by Donald Davidson in an essay, "Mental Events" (available in "Actions and Events" from Clarendon Press) published in the '70s. The main difference between his view and standard Physicalism is that his view holds that while physical in nature, mental events aren't fully explainable in neuro-physiological models.
Consciousness is the handiwork of God
Certainly possible! Thanks for watching and commenting!

Well you have to break your mind before you can be the real Philosopher, or els you will only be just ordinary person using this information that you never seen it if it true...
I read so much shit, but when I see the information in front of my eye in 5sec I can answer how that works without even seeing what is inside, and that is Logical question and Answer
You logically ask question in form of **Information** and Answer is **What is in front of you**, that will not give you any seance if your not philosopher... xD
Thanks for watching and making a comment! Philosophy is, without a doubt, an ongoing conversation, but one does have to learn the rules to play the game successfully.
