A study in the philosophy of mind, centred on the problem of
'intentionality' the sense in which emotions can be said to have
objects, their relation to these objects, and the implications of
this relation for our understanding of human action and behaviour.
Dr Wilson sets his enquiry against a broad historical background on
what distinguishes man from inanimate objects by describing both
Cartesian view of man is matter plus mind and the
neo-Wittgensteinian view that there is a dynamic behavioural
difference - causal notions being often inapplicable to human
action. Dr Wilson goes on to show the controversies and arguments
that arise from the notion of intentionality cannot be analysed in
causal terms. Dr Wilson believes that this notion can be shown
causally and sets out to prove it. Finally, he brings this argument
to a larger context mentioning that it has far-reaching effects in
natural and social sciences.
