Since its publication in 1996, many thousands of students have
first encountered key issues in the philosophy of mind in the pages
of Rocco J. Gennaro's introductory work, Mind and Brain: A Dialogue
on the Mind-Body Problem . In this new edition, Gennaro updates and
expands the work to reflect current topics and discussions. The
dialogue provides a clear and compelling overview of the mind-body
problem suitable for both introductory students and those who have
some background in the philosophy of mind. Topics include:
Immortality Materialism Descartes' "Divisibility Argument" for
substance dualism The "Argument from Introspection" for substance
dualism The main objections to dualism The interaction between mind
and brain The relation between brain damage and the prospect of an
afterlife Parallelism and epiphenomenalism The type/token
distinction within materialism and the problem of multiple
realizability Arguments against materialism and its ability to
explain consciousness Property dualism and panpsychism The
epistemological problem of other minds The nature of inductive
knowledge Evidence for animal consciousness The problem of machine
or robot minds The inverted spectrum argument Also included are a
brief Introduction, a list of Study Questions designed to enhance
classroom discussion and serve as a resource for the development of
paper topics, a Glossary, and an Index of Key Terms.
