Each of the fourteen essays in this volume is directed to some
aspect of these two questions: What are the peculiarities of the
concepts that we use to describe and to criticize the mental states
and performances of human beings? What are the peculiarities of the
knowledge that we may possess of our own mental states and
attitudes and of the mental states and attitudes of others? Each of
us is both a scientific student of others' beliefs, desires, and
attitudes and the responsible author of his own beliefs and
attitudes. The center of the freedom-of-mind problem, Professor
Hampshire asserts, is the confusion that arises when we try to
reconcile the explanations that we would give of the same mental
state or process from the two different points of view. Originally
published in 1971. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
