SearleOxford ;New York Oxford University Press20041 online resource (ix, 224 p. ) illFundamentals of philosophy seriesFormerly CIP.Uk0-19-515733-8 Includes bibliographical references and index.John Searle offers a general introduction to the philosophy of mind. Giving a broad survey of all the major issues under discussion in the field, including philosophical issues in cognitive science and neurobiology, Searle also argues for his own distinctive point of view."The philosophy of mind is unique among contemporary philosophical subjects," writes John Searle, "in that all of the most famous and influential theories are false." One of the world's most eminent thinkers, Searle dismantles these theories as he presents a vividly written, comprehensive introduction to the mind. He begins with a look at the twelve problems of philosophy of mind--which he calls "Descartes and Other Disasters"--problems which he returns to throughout the volume, as he illuminates such topics as materialism, consciousness, the mind-body problem, intentionality, mental causation, free will, and the self. The book offers a refreshingly direct and engaging introduction to one of the most intriguing areas of philosophy.Fundamentals of philosophy (Oxford, England)Philosophy of mindElectronic books.Philosophy of mind.128/.2Searle John R27859MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450083203321Mind2095581UNINA
