Fresh translations of key texts, exhaustive coverage from Plato to
Kant, and detailed commentary by expert scholars of philosophy add
up to make this sourcebook the first and most comprehensive account
of the history of the philosophy of mind. Published at a time when
the philosophy of mind and philosophical psychology are
high-profile domains in current research, the volume will inform
our understanding of philosophical questions by shedding light on
the origins of core conceptual assumptions often arrived at before
the instauration of psychology as a recognized subject in its own
right. The chapters closely follow historical developments in our
understanding of the mind, with sections dedicated to ancient,
medieval Latin and Arabic, and early modern periods of development.
The volume's structural clarity enables readers to trace the entire
progression of philosophical understanding on specific topics
related to the mind, such as the nature of perception. Doing so
reveals the fascinating contrasts between current and historical
approaches. In addition to its all-inclusive source material, the
volume provides subtle expert commentary that includes critical
introductions to each thematic section as well as detailed
engagement with the central texts. A voluminous bibliography
includes hundreds of primary and secondary sources. The sheer scale
of this new publication sheds light on the progression, and
discontinuities, in our study of the philosophy of mind, and
represents a major new sourcebook in a field of extreme importance
to our understanding of humanity as a whole.
