Concepts, Theories, and the Mind-Body Problem was first published
in 1958. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make
long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published
unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.
This is Volume II of the Minnesota Studies in the Philosophy of
Science, a series published in cooperation with the Minnesota
Center for Philosophy of Science at the University of Minnesota.
The series editors are Herbert Feigl and Grover Maxwell, who are
also co-editors, with Michael Scriven, of this volume. The ten
papers by eleven authors which make up the content of this volume
are the result of collaborative research of the Center in
philosophical and methodological problems of science in general and
psychology in particular. The contributors are Paul Oppenheim,
Hilary Putnam, Carl G. Hempel, Michael Scriven, Arthur Pap, Wilfrid
Sellars, H. Gavin Alexander, P.F. Strawson, Karl Zener, Herbert
Feigl, and Paul E. Meehl. In addition, an extensive discussion of
"Internationality and the Mental" by Wilfrid Sellars and Roderick
Chisholm is presented in an appendix.In a review of this volume the
journal Psychiatric Quarterly commented: "These essays will not
prove easy for the layman to read, but he can hardly fail to find
his effort rewarded if he is persistent. For the professional
behavioral scientist increased awareness and caution-in his use of
scientific language, and thinking about scientific theory-should
result." One of the papers in this volume, "The 'Mental' and the
'Physical'" by Herbert Feigl, has been published by the University
of Minnesota Press with further discussion by Dr. Feigl as a
separate book, The "Mental" and the "Physical": The Essay and a
Postscript.
