Supervenience and Mind : Selected Philosophical Essays Paperback / softback
by Jaegwon Kim
Part of the Cambridge Studies in Philosophy series
Paperback / softback
Description
Jaegwon Kim is one of the most pre-eminent and most influential contributors to the philosophy of mind and metaphysics.
This collection of essays presents the core of his work on supervenience and mind with two sets of postscripts especially written for the book.
The essays focus on such issues as the nature of causation and events, what dependency relations other than causal relations connect facts and events, the analysis of supervenience, and the mind-body problem.
A central problem in the philosophy of mind is the problem of explaining how the mind can causally influence bodily processes.
Professor Kim explores this problem in detail, criticises the nonreductionist solution of it, and offers a modified reductionist solution of his own.
Both professional philosophers and their graduate students will find this an invaluable collection.
