Description
Thought: A Very Short Introduction by Tim Bayne This concise introduction explores the nature of thought, drawing on philosophy, psychology, neuroscience, and anthropology. It considers questions such as what distinguishes thought from other mental states, how it is related to language, and whether there are culturally specific modes of thought. The book examines the logical structures of thought and the mechanisms that make it possible, covering topics including the role of young children and non-human animals in thinking, and the relationship between thought and responsibility. A wide-ranging survey of what we know about thought, this book also acknowledges the many things we don't know about one of our most central human capacities. Oxford's Very Short Introductions series offers concise and original introductions to a wide range of subjects, providing balanced and complete discussions of key issues in each field.
