Mind: a brief introduction

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

The philosophy of mind is unique among contemporary philosophical subjects, in that all of the most famous and in forestial theories are false. One of [the author's] aims is to try to rescue the truth from the overwhelming urge to falsehood. [He] explains much more convincingly than anything else his iconoclastic view that both materialism and dualism are false. [He also] explores the big issues in philosophy of mind, always keeping the deepest intuitions about the mind focus.-Dust jacket.
