This book introduces concepts in philosophy of mind and
neurophilosophy. Inside, three scholars offer approaches to the
problems of identity, consciousness, and the mind. In the process,
they open new vistas for thought and raise fresh controversies to
some of the oldest problems in philosophy. The first chapter
focuses on the identity problem. The author employs an explanatory
model he christened sense-phenomenalism to defend the thesis that
personal identity is something or a phenomenon that pertains to the
observable/perceptible aspect of the human person. The next chapter
explores the problem of consciousness. It deploys the new concept
equiphenomenalism as a model to show that mental properties are not
by-products but necessary products of consciousness. Herein, the
notion of qualia is a fundamental and necessary product that must
be experienced simultaneously with neural activities for
consciousness to be possible. The last chapter addresses the
mind/body problem. It adopts the new concept proto-phenomenalism as
an alternative explanatory model. This model eliminates the idea of
a mind. As such, it approaches the mind-body problem from a
materialistic point of view with many implications such as, the
meaning(lessness) of our existence, the possibility of thought
engineering as well as religious implications.
