The Philosophy of Mind
The Philosophy of Mind
$26.00
USDA deep concern with consciousness and intentionality is one of the several things that has lately moved into the centre of the philosophy of mind. The issue of consciousness is often treated as something distinct from intentionality, but – as Tim Crane notes in his incisive new Foreword – there is now something of a sea-change. This classic volume may be at least partly responsible for the shift in how philosophy of mind is starting to be understood. Before its first appearance, discussions of consciousness and intentionality in the context of perception were in their infancy. The book was a departure from the way this part of philosophy was conceived. It pointed to new ways to look at the discipline, addressing both the epistemology of mind, and intentionality and consciousness, especially in connection with perception. Showcasing many leading figures in the field, it offers a splendid overview of the issues at stake.
- Classic volume which changed the direction of the way philosophy of mind is understood
- Brings together some of the foremost philosophical authorities in the discipline
- New perspectives on consciousness, intentionality, perception and the mind-body problem which are still topical today
