Emotions: a Philosophical Introduction

巴塞罗那自治大学

关于此课程: Emotions are the backbone of social activities as well as they drive the cognitive processes of several living entities. This course tries to elucidate the controversial nature of emotions and their evolutionary meaning. Several animals, including humans, have emotions but…what about machines? This is a course to feel and think about.

此课程适用人群: No academic background is required to take the course. However, there is a desiderata: to have an open-minded attitude towards new information and ideas.
