Purchase options and add-ons

Common sense and philosophical tradition agree that mind makes a difference. What we do depends not only on how our bodies are put together, but also on what we think. Explaining how mind can make a difference has proved challenging, however. Some have urged that the project faces an insurmountable dilemma: either we concede that mentalistic explanations of behavior have only a pragmatic standing or we abandon our conception of the physical domain as causally autonomous. Although each option has its advocates, most theorists have sought a middle way that accommodates both the common-sense view of mind and the metaphysical conviction about the physical world. This volume presents a collection of new, specially written essays by a diverse group of philosophers, each of whom is widely known for defending a particular conception of minds and their place in nature. Contributors include Robert Audi, Lynne Rudder Baker, Tyler Burge, Donald Davidson, Fred Dretske, Ted Honderich, Jennifer Hornsby, Frank Jackson, Jaegwon Kim, Brian P. McLaughlin, Ruth Garrett Millikan, H. W. Noonan, Philip Pettit, Ernest Sosa, and Robert Van Gulick.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The essays are largely nontechnical and make an important contribution to current work in the philosophy of mind. They can benefit the work of cognitive psychologists, philosophers, and other theorists working on topics in philosophical psychology. Recommended for all libraries supporting work on philosophy and psychology at the advanced undergraduate level and above."--Choice

John Heil is Professor of Philosophy at Washington University in St Louis and Durham University, an Honorary Research Associate at Monash University, and a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Humanities. He is editor of the Journal of the American Philosophical Association.

Heil’s interests center on what the Australians call ‘ontologically serious’ metaphysics, metaphysics untainted by epistemology and the philosophy of language. He puts a premium on clarity and disdains jargon. Metaphysical questions force themselves on any moderately reflective human being, but are in most cases brushed aside as ‘merely philosophical'. What is time? Does time flow? If so, how fast? What is the relation between the familiar everyday world of trees, rabbits, and instruments in laboratories, and the world as characterized by physics? You can get a feel for Heil’s approach to these and other metaphysical questions in What is Metaphysics? (Polity Press).
