Mind and Supermind offers an alternative perspective on the nature
of belief and the structure of the human mind. Keith Frankish
argues that the folk-psychological term 'belief' refers to two
distinct types of mental state, which have different properties and
support different kinds of mental explanation. Building on this
claim, he develops a picture of the human mind as a two-level
structure, consisting of a basic mind and a supermind, and shows
how the resulting account sheds light on a number of puzzling
phenomena and helps to vindicate folk psychology. Topics discussed
include the function of conscious thought, the cognitive role of
natural language, the relation between partial and flat-out belief,
the possibility of active belief formation, and the nature of
akrasia, self-deception and first-person authority. This book will
be valuable for philosophers, psychologists and cognitive
scientists.
