The scenario of the brain in a vat, first aired thirty-five years
ago in Hilary Putnam's classic paper, has been deeply influential
in philosophy of mind and language, epistemology, and metaphysics.
This collection of new essays examines the scenario and its
philosophical ramifications and applications, as well as the
challenges which it has faced. The essays review historical
applications of the brain-in-a-vat scenario and consider its impact
on contemporary debates. They explore a diverse range of
philosophical issues, from intentionality, external-world
scepticism, and the nature of truth, to the extended mind
hypothesis, reference magnetism, and new versions of realism. The
volume will be a rich and valuable resource for advanced students
in metaphysics, epistemology, and philosophy of mind and language,
as well as anyone interested in the relations between language,
thought and the world.
