The investigation of the mind has been one of the major concerns of
our philosophical tradition and it still is a dominant subject in
modern philosophy as well as in science. Many philosophers in the
scientific tradition want to solve the "puzzles of the mind". But
many philosophers in the very same tradition do regard these
puzzles as puzzles of the brain. So, whilst the former think of the
mental as something of its own kind, the latter deny that
philosophy of mind has to do with anything else but the brain. And
then there are those who think that reduction is the way to go:
maybe the mental is brain-dependent and hence reducible to the
physical, in some way. This volume collects contributions
comprising all those points of view, including articles by William
Bechtel, Jerry Fodor, Jaegwon Kim, Joelle Proust and Patrick
Suppes.
