David Chalmers' widely acclaimed overview of the 1960s describes
how the civil rights movement touched off a growing challenge to
traditional values and arrangements. Chalmers recounts the judicial
revolution that set national standards for race, politics,
policing, and privacy. He examines the long, losing war on poverty
and the struggle between the media and the government over the war
in Vietnam. He follows feminism's "second wave" and the emergence
of the environmental, consumer, and citizen action movements. He
also explores the worlds of rock, sex, and drugs, and the entwining
of the youth culture, the counterculture, and the American
marketplace. This newly revised edition covers the conservative
counter-revolution and cultural wars. It carries the legacy of the
1960s forward: from Tom Hayden's idealistic 1962 Port Huron
Statement through Newt Gingrich's 1994 "Contract with America" and
Grover Norquist's twenty-first century "Tax Payer's Protection
Pledge."
New essays on the philosophy of Ned Block, with substantive and
wide-ranging responses by Block. Perhaps more than any other
philosopher of mind, Ned Block synthesizes philosophical and
scientific approaches to the mind; he is unique in moving back and
forth across this divide, doing so with creativity and intensity.
Over the course of his career, Block has made groundbreaking
contributions to our understanding of intelligence, representation,
and consciousness. Blockheads! (the title refers to Block's
imaginary counterexample to the Turing test-and to the
Block-enthusiast contributors) offers eighteen new essays on
Block's work along with substantive and wide-ranging replies by
Block. The essays and responses not only address Block's past
contributions but are rich with new ideas and argument. They
importantly clarify many key elements of Block's work, including
his pessimism concerning such thought experiments as Commander Data
and the Nation of China; his more general pessimism about
intuitions and introspection in the philosophy of mind; the
empirical case for an antifunctionalist, biological theory of
phenomenal consciousness; the fading qualia problem for a
biological theory; the link between phenomenal consciousness and
representation (especially spatial representation); and the
reducibility of phenomenal representation. Many of the contributors
to Blockheads! are prominent philosophers themselves, including
Tyler Burge, David Chalmers, Frank Jackson, and Hilary Putnam.

Metaphysics asks questions about existence: for example, do numbers
really exist? Metametaphysics asks questions about metaphysics: for
example, do its questions have determinate answers? If so, are
these answers deep and important, or are they merely a matter of
how we use words? What is the proper methodology for their
resolution? These questions have received a heightened degree of
attention lately with new varieties of ontological deflationism and
pluralism challenging the kind of realism that has become orthodoxy
in contemporary analytic metaphysics.
This volume concerns the status and ambitions of metaphysics as a
discipline. It brings together many of the central figures in the
debate with their most recent work on the semantics, epistemology,
and methodology of metaphysics.
