Boulder, CO.: Westview Press, 1996. The philosophy of mind has always been a staple of the philosophy curriculum. But it has never held a more important place than it does today, with both traditional problems and new topics often sparked by the implications of modern psychology, cognitive science, and computer science. In this concise but comprehensive survey, Jaegwon Kim explores, maps, and interprets this difficult terrain. Focusing on the traditional mind/body problem, Kim canvasses the traditional attempts to explain the mind as soul, as certain forms of behavior, as brain, or as a type of computer as well as more recent complex attempts to meet objections raised by these accounts. The author also includes extensive coverage of the issues surrounding content and consciousness. 258 pp. Dustjacket has a few tiny light scuffs on the rear cover; in mylar.. First Edition.
