| Summary: | Contemporary Debates in Philosophy of Mind provides a lively and engaging introduction to the conceptual background, ongoing debates and contentious issues in the field today. Original essays by more than thirty of the discipline's most influential thinkers offer opposing perspectives on a series of contested questions regarding mental content, physicalism, the place of consciousness in the physical world and the nature of perception and mental capacities. Written to appeal to non-specialists and professional philosophers alike, the second edition of Contemporary Debates in Philosophy of Mind features five entirely new debates on the relation between perception and cognition, whether pain is a natural kind, whether perception is best understood through representational content or direct contact with the world, whether we need imagination that goes beyond imagery and supposition, and whether perceptual contents are general, particular or a hybrid. |
