PHIL-137 Paying Attention
Where we direct our attention determines our conscious experience. But what does it mean to pay attention to something, and how much control do we really have over it? This course will examine various theories of attention and its role in our cognitive, emotional, and ethical lives. We will also take up the practical challenges posed by attention: if what we pay attention to determines our experience, how can we get better at attending to what really matters?
