Consciousness has long been regarded as the biggest stumbling block for the view that the mind is physical. This volume collects thirteen new papers on this problem by leading philosophers including Torin Alter, Ned Block, David Chalmers, Daniel Dennett, John Hawthorne, Frank Jackson, Janet Levin, Joseph Levine, Martine Nida-R melin, Laurence Nemirow, Knut Nordby, David Papineau, and Stephen White.
What is the nature of consciousness? How is consciousness related
to brain processes? This volume collects thirteen new papers on
these topics: twelve by leading and respected philosophers and one
by a leading color-vision scientist. All focus on consciousness in
the "phenomenal" sense: on what it's like to have an experience.
Physicalism - the thesis that everything there is in the world, including our minds is constituted by basic physical entities - has dominated the philosophy of mind during the last few decades. But, although the conceptual foundations of the physicalist agenda - including a proper explication of notions, such as 'causation', 'determination', 'realization' or even 'physicalism' itself - must be settled before more specific problems (e.g. the problems of mental causation and human agency) can be satisfactorily addressed, a comprehensive philosophical reflection on the relationships between the various key concepts of the debate on physicalism is yet missing. This book presents a range of essays on the conceptual foundations of physicalism, mental causation and human agency.

Wann finden geistige Prozesse statt? Zum Beispiel, wenn wir emotional sind, uns erinnern oder traumen. Mit innovativen Beitragen stellt das Handbuch kognitive Leistungen wie Erinnerung, Lernen, Planen, Wahrnehmung oder Sprache vor beim Menschen, aber auch im Hinblick auf kunstliche Systeme wie Computer oder Roboter. Es beleuchtet die verschiedenen Modelle kognitiver Systeme, darunter das Computermodell des Geistes, neuronale Netze oder dynamische Systeme. Mit den Fachern Anthropologie, Informatik, Linguistik, Neurowissenschaft, Psychologie und Philosophie fuhrt es in die Teildisziplinen der Kognitionswissenschaft ein.
