This is the third edition of the successful introduction to the
philosophy of mind. Revised to reflect the current standing of
discussion, this book provides a systematic overview of
contemporary debate in philosophy of mind. The various positions
regarding the mind-body problemare presented with arguments for and
against them in order to give the reader a short but comprehensive
view of the subject.
The study of the mind has always been one of the main
preoccupations of philosophers, and has been a booming area of
research in recent decades, with remarkable advances in psychology
and neuroscience. Oxford University Press now presents the most
authoritative and comprehensive guide ever published to the
philosophy of mind.
An outstanding international team of contributors offer 45
specially written critical surveys of a wide range of topics
relating to the mind. The first two sections cover the place of the
mind in the natural world: its ontological status, how it fits into
the causal fabric of the universe, and the nature of consciousness.
The third section focuses on the much-debated subjects of content
and intentionality. The fourth section examines a variety of mental
capacities, including memory, imagination, and emotion. The fifth
section looks at epistemic issues, in particular regarding
knowledge of one's own and other minds. The volume concludes with a
section on self, personhood, and agency.
The Oxford Handbook of Philosophy of Mind will be an invaluable
resource for advanced students and scholars of philosophy, and also
for researchers in neighbouring disciplines seeking a high-level
survey of the state of the art in this flourishing field.
Is it rational to believe in God or other supernatural powers? Are
there good epistemic reasons for holding religious convictions? In
searching for an answer to one of religion s most important
philosophical questions, the author undertakes a systematic study
of the main positions and arguments that have been offered so far.
His conclusion? An honest review of the evidence does not speak for
the existence of God; quite the contrary. The world s suffering
offers a conclusive argument against it."
