Philosophy of Mind: 50 Puzzles,Paradoxes,and Thought Experiments is a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the fascinating world of philosophy of mind.
Imaginative cases, often referred to as puzzles and other thought experiments, hold a pivotal position in the realm of philosophy of mind. The real world itself presents philosophers with an abundance of such perplexing scenarios. This comprehensive volume gathers 50 of the most significant historical and contemporary cases in philosophy of mind, presenting them in a clear and organized manner. The authors have divided these cases into five distinct sections: consciousness and dualism, physicalist theories and the metaphysics of mind, content, intentionality, and representation, perception, imagination, and attention, and persons, personal identity, and the self.
Within each chapter, readers are provided with a comprehensive background that contextualizes the issue at hand. The central case or cases are then described in detail, accompanied by a discussion that explores the relevant literature and offers insights into the broader philosophical landscape. Additionally, each chapter includes a list of recommended readings that further explore the topics discussed, providing students and scholars with a valuable resource for further exploration.
Philosophy of Mind: 50 Puzzles, Paradoxes, and Thought Experiments is designed to serve as a valuable teaching tool for both undergraduate and graduate students. The stand-alone chapters, each presented in an identical format, allow students to grasp the essence of each issue quickly and easily. This self-contained approach enables instructors to assign readings based on the specific themes of their courses, providing flexibility and customization.
In addition to the chapters, the book includes a general volume introduction that provides a comprehensive overview of the field. Smaller introductions to each of the five sections further enhance the reader's understanding of the different topics covered. A comprehensive glossary at the end of the book aids in clarifying any terminology or concepts that may be unfamiliar.
Overall, Philosophy of Mind: 50 Puzzles, Paradoxes, and Thought Experiments is a comprehensive and engaging introduction to the fascinating world of philosophy of mind. Whether you are a student, scholar, or simply someone interested in exploring the complexities of the human mind, this book will provide you with a wealth of knowledge and insights.
