Contemporary Philosophy of Mind : A Contentiously Classical Approach, Paperback / softback Book

Contemporary Philosophy of Mind : A Contentiously Classical Approach Paperback / softback

Part of the Contemporary Philosophy series

Paperback / softback

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 Fodor's representational theory of mind affords a compelling account of much of our ordinary mental talk of beliefs, hopes, and desires.
