Jaegwon Kim presents a selection of his essays from the last two
decades. The volume includes three new essays, on an agent-centered
first-person account of action explanation, the concepts of
realization and their bearings on the mind-body problem, and the
nonexistence of laws in the special sciences. Among other topics
covered are emergence and emergentism, the nature of explanation
and of theories of explanation, reduction and reductive
explanation, mental causation and explanatory exclusion. Kim
tackles questions such as: How should we understand the concept of
"emergence," and what are the prospects of emergentism as a
doctrine about the status of minds? What does an agent-centered,
first-person account of explanation of human actions look like? Why
aren't there strict laws in the special sciences - sciences like
biology, psychology, and sociology? The essays will be accessible
to attentive readers without an extensive philosophical background.
