D. M. Armstrong's A Materialist Theory of the Mind is widely known
as one of the most important defences of the view that mental
states are nothing but physical states of the brain. A landmark of
twentieth-century philosophy of mind, it launched the physicalist
revolution in approaches to the mind and has been engaged with,
debated and puzzled over ever since its first publication over
fifty years ago. Ranging over a remarkable number of topics, from
behaviourism, the will and knowledge to perception, bodily
sensation and introspection, Armstrong argues that mental states
play a causally intermediate role between stimuli, other mental
states and behavioural responses. He uses several illuminating
examples to illustrate this, such as the classic case of pain. This
Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Peter Anstey,
placing Armstrong's book in helpful philosophical and historical
context.
