This dance of the mind

Más información sobre el libro

This Dance of the Mind offers a comprehensive exploration of major themes in both traditional and contemporary philosophy of mind. It covers a wide range of theories regarding the nature of the mind, from Cartesian dualism to modern forms of physicalism and eliminativism. The book delves into the phenomenology of the mind, addressing the often-overlooked issue of the “abnormal” mind, as well as discussions on free will, psychology, psychiatry, and various epistemological questions related to mental inquiry. Despite its broad scope, the text provides careful and detailed critical analyses across these areas. The author defends some unconventional views in contemporary philosophy of mind, such as a version of Cartesian dualism and the essential role of introspection. This work is accessible enough for introductory undergraduate courses while being sophisticated and rich enough for advanced graduate studies. The text serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the complexities of the mind and its philosophical implications.
