The human mind has proven uniquely capable of unraveling untold
mysteries, and yet, the mind is fundamentally challenged when it
turns back on itself to ask what it itself is. How do we conceive
of mind in this postmodern world; how can we use philosophical
anthropology to understand mind and its functions? While
philosophers and social scientists have made important
contributions to our understanding of mind, existing theories are
insufficient for penetrating the complexities of mind in the
twenty-first century. Mind Unmasked: A Political Phenomenology of
Consciousness draws on twentieth-century philosophies of
consciousness to explain the phenomenon of mind in the broadest
sense of the word. Michael A. Weinstein and Timothy M. Yetman
develop a thought provoking discourse that moves beyond the nature
of the human experience of mind at both the individual and
interpersonal levels and present a meditation on life in the
contemporary world of global mass-mediated human culture.

Smelling the virtual flowers and counting the road-kill on the
digital superhighway are just a couple of things that
Kroker/Weinstein explains. Others include: the theory of the
virtual class; virtual ideology; the will to virtuality; the
political economy of virtual reality; prime time reports; virtual
(photographic) culture; and the virtual history file.
A philosophical essay on personal virtue of self-control, artistry,
and love. A contemporary account of how virtue can have
