From the Knowledge Argument to Mental Substance

Více o knize

The book presents a compelling argument for substance dualism, emphasizing the inadequacies of materialism in addressing the 'hard problem' of consciousness. Howard Robinson creatively intertwines discussions on reductionism and semantic vagueness, advocating for a conceptualist approach to non-fundamental ontology. He critiques various physicalist theories and explores connections between historical philosophical figures, enriching the discourse on consciousness, dualism, and the mind-body problem. This work serves as a significant resource for scholars and advanced students in the philosophy of mind.
