An introduction to the philosophy of mind - a core component of the
undergraduate philosophy curriculum - tailored to meet the needs of
students new to the subject. Key Concepts in Philosophy is a series
of concise, accessible and engaging introductions to the core ideas
and subjects encountered in the study of philosophy. Specially
written to meet the needs of students and those with an interest
in, but little prior knowledge of, philosophy, these books open up
fascinating, yet sometimes difficult ideas. The series builds to
give a solid grounding in philosophy and each book is also ideal as
a companion to further study. The philosophy of mind - inquiry into
just what the mind is and the nature of its relationship to the
body - is one of Western philosophy's focal points. This is a
comprehensive, clear and authoritative guide to the subject's
history, its key themes and concepts, and those philosophers who
have most influenced it, aimed at students encountering the
discipline for the first time. The text illustrates the importance
of the concept of mind in defining what it is to be human; this
unifies the discussion and analysis of specific topics. Having
outlined the major traditional accounts of the nature of the mind
in western philosophy, the book goes on to examine such important
concepts as subjectivity, intentionality and behaviour. The book
also explores how far the concept of mind can be extended to
animals and machines, such as computers and robots. This is an
invaluable aid to study, one that goes beyond simple definitions
and summaries to really open up fascinating and important ideas and
arguments.
