Private Language Argument, Logical Behaviourism & Identity Theory - Philosophy of Mind II

Join George and John as they discuss and debate different Philosophical ideas. Today is Part 2 of the Philosophy of Mind debate, in this video they will be debating the Private Language Argument, brought forward by Wittgenstein and used to argue against Solipsism.

The debate will then move to Materialism with a specific focus on Logical Behaviourism, the idea that mental states are physical states and all mental states are nothing more than a description of ones behaviour.

Finally the two will look into Identity Theory, the attempt to describe all mental states as nothing more than physical brain states.
