Looking for a new, recent topic in the philosophy of mind that would be suitable to teach to MA students.
Something recent and engaging.
AI is already on the course, so not that please.
Work by women and other minoritized folks would be great.
Why do people believe conspiracy theories?

Can anyone recommend some introductory level stuff on Turing machines, Turing completeness, the halting problem etc.? I need it for a masters level course, and some of the students haven’t done philosophy before.

We all see colours differently, so does that mean that our brains 'make up' colour? Is colour real? What is colour?

Jeremy Williams’s session on the objectivity of moral wrongs
Henry Taylor presents his new exciting project Philosophy Smash with Henry
Isabel Wollaston discusses the morality of choices in the Holocaust
We hosted an Applied Ethics conference for local schools today, with brilliant talks by Isabel Wollaston, Jeremy Williams, & Henry Taylor. From choiceless choices and animal rights, to the objectivity of moral wrongs, it was a rollercoaster! #philosophymatters #philosophyforeveryone #philsky

Have you ever wondered whether prayer is actually useful? Or is it just a waste of your time?
