Is Mind Distinct from Body?
In this introductory program on the mind-body problem from 1998, the relation between mind & body is discussed by various philosophers (including W. V. Quine, David Chalmers, Paul Churchland, Daniel Dennett, Hilary Putnam, Hubert Dreyfus, Charles Taylor, John Searle, & Nicholas Jolley). Among other things, they discuss Descartes' dualism, Thomas Hobbes' materialism, Gilbert Ryle's behaviorism, the Turing Test, the Chinese Room, & reductionism. This comes from the 1998 Εxαminϵd Life series.
