The early modern period is arguably the most pivotal of all in the
study of the mind, teeming with a variety of conceptions of mind.
Some of these posed serious questions for assumptions about the
nature of the mind, many of which still depended on notions of the
soul and God. It is an era that witnessed the emergence of theories
and arguments that continue to animate the study of philosophy of
mind, such as dualism, vitalism, materialism, and idealism.
Covering pivotal figures in philosophy such as Descartes, Hobbes,
Kant, Leibniz, Cavendish, and Spinoza, Philosophy of Mind in the
Early Modern and Modern Ages provides an outstanding survey of
philosophy of mind of the period. Following an introduction by
Rebecca Copenhaver, sixteen specially commissioned chapters by an
international team of contributors discuss key topics, thinkers,
and debates, including: Hobbes, Descartes' philosophy of mind and
its early critics, consciousness, the later Cartesians,
Malebranche, Cavendish, Locke, Spinoza, Descartes and Leibniz,
perception and sensation, desires, mental substance and mental
activity, Hume, and Kant. Essential reading for students and
researchers in philosophy of mind, enlightenment philosophy, and
the history of philosophy, Philosophy of Mind in the Early Modern
and Modern Ages is also a valuable resource for those in related
disciplines such as religion, history of psychology, and history of
science.
