TOPICS
Write a 10-12-page paper on one of the following topics:
1. How does Taylor use Leibniz’s Law to refute Materialism in “Materialism and Personal Identity”? Compare and contrast Taylor’s argument to Descartes’ argument for Dualism in Meditation VI.

2. Explain the motivation behind Ryle’s rejection of the Cartesian conception of mind, showing how he is led to develop a non-Dualistic alternative -i.e. Behaviorism. Explain why Ryle says that he is neither a Dualist nor a Materialist. What advantages does Logical Behaviorism have as compared to Cartesian Dualism? What are its drawbacks? (Ryle and Graham and Cooney will be helpful to for this topic.)
3. How does Ryle use the Problem of Other Minds to attack Cartesian Dualism? Is he successful? Explain why or why not. Describe and evaluate at least two solutions to the Problem of Other Minds (Ryle and Graham will be useful here).
4. Will everyday mental categories, such as “belief,” “desire,” “representation,” and “consciousness” suffer the same fate as failed scientific concepts and theories, such as “caloric”?
