Contemporary philosophy of mind

Rey, G.

9780631190714 - Contemporary philosophy of mind
Secondhand

Article description

This volume is an introduction to contemporary debates in the philosophy of mind. In particular, the author focuses on the controversial eliminativist and instrumentalist attacks -- from philosophers such as of Quine, Dennett, and the Churchlands -- on our ordinary concept of mind. In so doing, Rey offers an explication and defense of mental realism, and shows how Fodora s representational theory of mind affords a compelling account of much of our ordinary mental talk of beliefs, hopes, and desires.
