Description

William Jaworski's Philosophy of Mind is a comprehensive introduction to one of the most lively fields in contemporary philosophy. This book explores mind-body problems and the range of solutions to them, including various kinds of physicalism, emergentism, and hylomorphism.

The author presents each position fairly, in greater depth and detail than competing texts, making this a balanced overview of the entire field. The book is written in a clear, accessible style that is easy to read, free of technical jargon, and presupposes no prior knowledge of philosophy of mind.

With its focus on the impact of neuroscience, biology, psychology, and cognitive science on mind-body debates, this book provides a flexible teaching tool for general philosophy courses as well as courses in philosophy of mind. The text is accompanied by bibliographic essays at the end of each chapter, bringing readers up to speed on the latest literature.
