Problems of Mind Descartes to Wittgenstein

Problems of Mind Descartes to Wittgenstein

First published in 1972 Problems of Mind begins with a consideration of the view that the human mind is an immaterial thing that does not require corporeal embodiment for its operations. It takes up the conception that inner experiences are strictly identical with brain processes. The book also deals exclusively with the doctrine called Logical Behaviourism which will always possess a compelling attraction for anyone who is perplexed by the psychological concepts who has become aware of the worthlessness of an appeal to introspection as an account of how we learn those concepts and who has no inclination to identify mind with brain. The three most plausible theories of mind-body dualism mind-brain monism and behaviourism are all rejected and nothing is set forth as the true theory. Norman Malcolm states that this is 'only a drop in the bucket. It will serve its purpose if it leads the reader into the writings of Wittgenstein who is easily the most important figure in the philosophy of mind. ’ Problems of Mind will be an essential read for scholars and researchers of philosophy of mind ethics logic and philosophy in general. | Problems of Mind Descartes to Wittgenstein

The Development of Mind

The Development of Mind

The experimental and highly regarded Gifford Lectures at Edinburgh University was endowed in the late nineteenth century. Over the years participants have including many leading representatives of religion science and philosophy. This series has as its subject The Development of Mind. First published in 1972 the series continues to attract widespread interest. In this volume contributors argue about the mind from diverse analytical standpoints. The focus of the series remains the relationship between religion science and philosophy. This volume attempts to achieve a comprehensive view of the subject of mind. The mental development of children in the light of modern psychology is discussed and the distinction between how and why questions is put forward with clarity. The development of mind is further contrasted with the evolution of embryos in the young. The mind is considered as a capacity for intellectual activity and as a multi-purpose program. Goal-directed behavior and language development are given importance and issues of cosmic purpose and the how and why of evolution are never far from the surface of the argument. The lecturers know their opposition and their positions and the cut-and-thrust of the discussion has much acumen and wit to it. Issues ranging from the impact of mind on theories of religion causation and rational will are examined in an informal yet compelling manner.

Brain and Mind

Brain and Mind

The relationship between brain and mind is one of the most baffling problems in science but potentially one of the most interesting. First published in 1985 this collection of original essays traces the development of mind in animals and human beings from its origins in the evolution of larger brains with a capacity for creating mental models of the environment. Examples are given of the way in which the brain may use this increased capacity to represent both the physical and social worlds and the authors suggest that this type of mental activity might underly what human beings recognize in themselves as ‘awareness’ or ‘consciousness’. Brain and Mind brings together much of the latest research and provides a useful framework for the study of this increasingly important subject. The contributors are experts in a wide range of disciplines and draw their conclusions from a broad base of clinical and experimental evidence. Students of psychology zoology anatomy medicine and philosophy as well as anyone who has wondered about their own mind and its relation to the brain will find this a fascinating and stimulating source.

The Biological Mind A Philosophical Introduction

The Biological Mind A Philosophical Introduction

For some biology explains all there is to know about the mind. Yet many big questions remain: Is the mind shaped by genes or the environment? If mental traits are the result of adaptations built up over thousands of years as evolutionary psychologists claim how can such claims be tested?

Revised and updated to take account of new developments in the field The Biological Mind: A Philosophical Introduction explores these questions and more using the philosophy of biology to introduce and assess the nature of the mind. Justin Garson addresses the following key topics: moral psychology altruism and levels of selection; evolutionary psychology and the adaptationism debate; genes environment and the nature–nurture debate; natural selection and mental representation; psychiatric classification and the maladapted mind.
