This course was co-taught by Professor Dan Dennett, a leader in the field of philosophy of mind and consciousness, and Professor David Haig, an evolutionary biologist. I was lucky enough to take Dennett's last class before retirement. In Philosophy of Evolution, we discussed the myriad of philosophical issues involved in evolution. From the specifics of gene replication and mutation - how do we transmit information? How do we differentiate between signal and noise? To the larger questions that evolution forces us to consider - what is the basis for free will? How determinate is our behavior? What is the physical evidence for consciousness and its evolution? How does cultural evolution mirror genetic evolution? How do they interact with each other? This class also investigated the line between Darwinian evolution - the classic natural selection model - and the more modern non-Darwinian, intentional processes we're seeing now, particularly in cultural evolution. And how do we approach a slow, mindless process that can create something that can create things a slow, mindless process never could (think of evolution creating humans creating computers)? This course was fascinating in its breadth and depth, and made me rethink my stance on consciousness, memetics, and the importance of evolutionary study in general.
