Contraportada
In this innovative study of the relationship between persons and their bodies, E. J. Lowe demonstrates the inadequacy of physicalism, even in its mildest, non-reductionist guises, as a basis for a scientifically and philosophically acceptable account of human beings as subjects of experience, thought and action. He defends a substantival theory of the self as an enduring and irreducible entity - a theory which is unashamedly committed to a distinctly non-Cartesian dualism of self and body. Taking up the physicalist challenge to any robust form of psychophysical interactionism, he shows how an attribution of independent causal powers to the mental states of human subjects is perfectly consistent with a thoroughly naturalistic world view. He concludes his study by examining in detail the role which conscious mental states play in the human subject's exercise of its most central capacities for perception, action, thought and self-knowledge.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. 1st Edition. Cloth hardcover, xv + 341 pages, NOT ex-library. Mild wear, book is clean and bright, untanned, with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Untorn dust jacket shows moderate creasing to edges. -- The book delves into the intricate relationship between consciousness and human cognition, presenting a philosophical exploration of how thought arises from sensory experiences and phenomena. Divided into three main parts, the book provides a thorough investigation of topics like the role of the senses, the nature of pain, and how phenomena shape subjective experience. Nelkin then offers a theory of consciousness, examining the complex interplay between mental states and self-awareness, followed by discussions on apperception, self-identity, perception of objects, and the exercise of will. The work challenges readers to reconsider established views of consciousness and thought, offering a fresh perspective grounded in philosophical rigor. This volume is essential reading for those studying the philosophy of mind, cognitive science, and consciousness studies, contributing meaningfully to ongoing debates about the origins of thought and the nature of subjective experience. -- Contents: Preface; Introduction; I.

Taking issue with Empiricists who believe that all knowledge arises from experience and that perception is a non-cognitive state, Norton Nelkin argues that perception is cognitive, constructive and proposition-like. Further, as against Externalists who believe that our thoughts have meaning only insofar as they advert to the world outside our minds, he argues that meaning is determined 'in the head'. Finally, he offers an account of how we acquire some of our most basic concepts, including the concept of the self and that of other minds.". Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 010836
