Of interest to all, but perhaps especially to those in Huenemann’s Philosophy of Mind course:
David Bentley Hart explains why the mind is not like a computer and why mind and its activities cannot be reduced to material processes.
Here is a longer treatment.

Tomorrow (Tuesday) will abound in philosophical events. Everyone is welcome!
At 3:oo p.m., in Huntsman Hall 122, we will have the “Superhero Symposium“. Join in a discussion of the cultural and philosophical dimensions of leaping buildings in a single bound!
At 7:00 p.m., in Main 119, we will have “Flash! Philosophy“. Students will offer brief presentations of captivating and perhaps quirky ideas so that we can all delight in the fun of discussing them. I’m not exactly sure what’s coming, but I’ve heard talk of several ideas, including the ontology of sandwiches. (Speaking of which….)
(Note: this isn’t the same thing as the 2017 conference, posted below). This conference will be at Weber State on November 4th. Here is the program: 2016ipcprogram. Local celebrities Erica Holberg and Charlie Huenemann will be presenting, alongside many great philosophers from around the state!
You should participate!
Deadline for submitting proposals: December 5th
