This book provides a radical alternative to naturalistic theories
of content, and offers a new conception of the place of mind in the
world. Confronting head-on the scientific conception of the nature
of reality that has dominated the Anglo-American philosophical
tradition, Michael Morris here presents a detailed analysis of
content and propositional attitudes, based on the idea that truth
is a value. In the course of this analysis, he rejects the causal
theory of the explanation of behaviour and replaces it with an
alternative which depends upon a rich conception of the behaviour
we explain with reference to states of mind. According to the
theory presented here, our understanding of other people is
inextricably involved with our evaluation of what they do, and the
objectivity of truth depends on the objectivity of moral goodness.
Dr Morris's lucid and detailed exposition of his controversial
argument sounds an emphatic challenge to the naturalistic orthodoxy
in areas as diverse as metaphysics, ethics, and cognitive science.
