Common sense and philosophical tradition agree that mind makes a
difference. What we do depends not only on how our bodies are put
together, but also on what we think. Explaining how mind can make a
difference has proved challenging, however. Some have urged that
the project faces an insurmountable dilemma: either we concede that
mentalistic explanations of behavior have only a pragmatic standing
or we abandon our conception of the physical domain as causally
autonomous. Although each option has its advocates, most theorists
have sought a middle way that accommodates both the common-sense
view of mind and the metaphysical conviction about the physical
world. This volume presents a collection of new, specially written
essays by a diverse group of philosophers, each of whom is widely
known for defending a particular conception of minds and their
place in nature. Contributors include Robert Audi, Lynne Rudder
Baker, Tyler Burge, Donald Davidson, Fred Dretske, Ted Honderich,
Jennifer Hornsby, Frank Jackson, Jaegwon Kim, Brian P. McLaughlin,
Ruth Garrett Millikan, H. W. Noonan, Philip Pettit, Ernest Sosa,
and Robert Van Gulick.
