Imaginative cases, or what might be called puzzles and other
thought experiments, play a central role in philosophy of mind. The
real world also furnishes philosophers with an ample supply of such
puzzles. This volume collects fifty of the most important
historical and contemporary cases in philosophy of mind and
describes their significance. The authors divide them into five
sections: consciousness and dualism; physicalist theories and the
metaphysics of mind; content, intentionality, and representation;
perception, imagination, and attention; and persons, personal
identity, and the self. Each chapter provides background, describes
a central case or cases, discusses the relevant literature, and
suggests further readings. Philosophy of Mind: Fifty Puzzles,
Paradoxes, and Thought Experiments promises to be a useful teaching
tool as well as a handy resource for anyone interested in the area.
Key Features: Offers stand-alone chapters, each presented in an
identical format: - Topics - Background - The Case - Discussion -
Recommended Reading Each chapter is self-contained, allowing
students to quickly understand an issue and giving instructors
flexibility in assigning readings to match the themes of the
course. Additional pedagogical features include a general volume
introduction as well as smaller introductions to each of the five
sections and a glossary at the end of the book.
