在當代哲學中，心理哲學是最活躍且最重要的研究領域之一。人有各種心理現象，其它非人動物也有心理現象，而非動物可能沒有心理現象。就人而言，心理現象與人類活動習習相關，希望、恐懼、夢境、思想、欲望等心理現象在我們的生活中扮演了某種角色，某些心理現象，例如理性，甚至被認為是區分人和非人動物的標記。心理哲學研究這些心理現象的本質，它特別關心心理現象和身體、甚至是和物理世界之間的關係，它也討論意識、思想和語言、行動、自我等等。在這門課中，透過解說和討論這些議題，期望學生對心理哲學有基本的認識。

In contemporary philosophy, psychological philosophy is one of the most active and important research areas. People have various psychological phenomena, and other non-human animals also have psychological phenomena, but non-animals may not have psychological phenomena. As far as humans are concerned, psychological phenomena are related to human activities. Psychological phenomena such as hope, fear, dreams, thoughts, and desires play a role in our lives. Some psychological phenomena, such as reason, are even considered to be the mark of distinguishing people from non-human animals. Psychology studies the nature of these psychological phenomena, which is particularly concerned with the relationship between psychological phenomena and the body, and even with the physical world. It also discusses consciousness, thoughts and language, actions, self, etc. In this course, students are expected to have a basic understanding of psychological philosophy by explaining and discussing these topics.
