Description
The Intellectual Powers: A Study of Human Nature by P. M. S. Hacker is a comprehensive philosophical investigation into the cognitive and cogitative powers of mankind.
Spanning 45 years of reflection, this book provides an in-depth analysis of consciousness, self-consciousness, intentionality, mastery of language, knowledge, belief, memory, sensation, perception, thought, and imagination.
With extensive overviews of these complex topics, illustrated with tables, tree-diagrams, and charts, The Intellectual Powers is a valuable resource for philosophers, psychologists, cognitive neuroscientists, and anyone seeking to understand the nature of human cognition.
