Introduction

I've had a long-standing interest in the philosophy of mind, cognitive science and artificial intelligence.

A few years ago I started working on a video series that would explore these issues in some detail.

The project was ultimately cut short before I could make significant progress, but the videos that I managed to complete do cover some interesting and important topics in the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of language.

Enjoy!
