This module approaches several issues in the fields of Philosophy of Language and Philosophy of Mind. Some of these issues are closely interrelated and appear in both disciplines, which is the case of those related to meaning, intentionality and representation theories. However, it will also deal with more specific issues and theories related to communication, speech acts and pragmatics, on the one hand; and to the nature of the mind itself and the definition of psychological states, or to cognitive models and their applications in the field of artificial intelligence, on the other hand. Students will learn about these contents and acquire specific knowledge of the corresponding psychological reality and of the relation between language and the world. They will also be trained in research, so that they develop skills to analyse different aspects of thought theories and models, and their practical links to cognitive sciences.
