It is commonly held that our thoughts, beliefs, desires and
feelings - the mental phenomena that we instantiate - are
constituted by states and processes that occur inside our head. The
view known as externalism, however, denies that mental phenomena
are internal in this sense. The mind is not purely in the head.
Mental phenomena are hybrid entities that straddle both internal
state and processes and things occurring in the outside world. The
development of externalist conceptions of the mind is one of the
most controversial, and arguably one of the most important,
developments in the philosophy of mind in the second half of the
twentieth century. Yet, despite its significance most recent work
on externalism has been highly technical, clouding its basic ideas
and principles. Moreover, very little work has been done to locate
externalism within philosophical developments in both analytic and
continental traditions. In this book, Mark Rowlands aims to remedy
both these problems and present for the reader a clear and
accessible introduction to the subject grounded in wider
developments in the history of philosophy. Rowlands shows that
externalism has significant and respectable historical roots that
make it much more important than a specific eruption that occurred
in late twentieth-century analytic philosophy.
