Our aim is to discover the nature of the mental. To do so, we adopt a variety of methods and approaches, ranging from conceptual analysis to experimentation, from phenomenological description to the engagement with psychology, neuroscience, and evolutionary biology. Our research breadth is reflected in our teaching. At the undergraduate level, we offer modules in the philosophy of mind, in the philosophy of psychology, in the philosophy of cognitive science, on the emotions, on analytic, naturalistic, and phenomenological approaches to the mental, and on moral psychology
