Information

Ziele, Inhalte und Methode der Lehrveranstaltung

Ziel des Seminars is es, den Studierenden wichtige Grundlagen für die wissenschaftliche Arbeit im Feld der Kognitionswissenschaften zu vermitteln. Dazu gehört vor allem die kritische Durchsicht bestehender wissenschaftlicher Literatur. Das Seminar konzentriert sich auf ausgewählte Probleme der Philosophie der Kognitionswissenschaften, vor allm Computationalismus, Repräsentation, Intelligenz, Problemlösen, Logik und Sprache.
Als Ergebnis des Seminars sollen Studierende in der Lage sein, relevante Literatur on- und offline zu suchen, ausgewählte Literatur zu einzelnen wichtigen philosophischen Grundlagen der Kognitionswissenschaften zu studieren, zu vergleichen und sie in historischen Kontext zu setzen, zusammenzufassen, zu präsentieren und zu diskutieren.
