Mental action deserves a place among foundational topics in action
theory and philosophy of mind. Recent accounts of human agency tend
to overlook the role of conscious mental action in our daily lives,
while contemporary accounts of the conscious mind often ignore the
role of mental action and agency in shaping consciousness. This
collection aims to establish the centrality of mental action for
discussions of agency and mind. The thirteen original essays
provide a wide-ranging vision of the various and nuanced
philosophical issues at stake. Among the questions explored by the
contributors are: Which aspects of our conscious mental lives are
agential? Can mental action be reduced to and explained in terms of
non-agential mental states, processes, or events? Must mental
action be included among the ontological categories required for
understanding and explaining the conscious mind more generally?
Does mental action have implications for related topics, such as
attention, self-knowledge, self-control, or the mind-body problem?
By investigating the nature, scope, and explanation of mental
action, the essays presented here aim to demonstrate the
significance of conscious mental action for discussions of agency
and mind. Mental Action and the Conscious Mind will be of interest
to scholars and graduate students working in philosophy of mind,
philosophy of action, and philosophy of agency, as well as to
philosophically inclined cognitive scientists.
