Philosophy of mind Books

Book SynopsisGeorge Berkeley's doctrine of notions is often disparaged or dismissed. In a systematic interpretation and positive reconstruction of the doctrine, James Hill presents Berkeley's understanding of the inner sphere and self-awareness, and reassesses the widely held view of Berkeley as an empiricist. Examining the development of Berkeley's philosophy from the early notebooks to the late Siris, Hill sets out how knowledge by notion involves a radical rejection of the perceptual model of self-cognition and of the attempt to frame our knowledge of the inner by analogy with the outer. He points to Berkeley's divergence from the assumption among rationalists and empiricists that we know our selves and our mental acts by idea, or by an immediate presentation before the mind. Weaving together Berkeley's conception of the intellect, conceptual thought, mathematics, ethics and theology in the light of the doctrine of notions, Hill invites us to treat Berkeley's philosophy of mind as distiTrade ReviewThe Notions of George Berkeley is a major event in Berkeley studies. For no commentator before Hill has gotten as close to Berkeley on this crucial subject, or shown how encompassing it is in Berkeley’s philosophy. * David Berman, Emeritus Fellow and Professor of Philosophy, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland *A textually moored, historically contextualized and philosophically sophisticated reconstruction of Berkeley's puzzling doctrine of notions, our knowledge of ourselves, our acts, relations, number, virtue and God. Hill persuasively explains why Berkeley is part-empiricist and part-rationalist, and why his positive ontological views, not only his well-known immaterialism, deserve a closer look. * Samuel C.

Book SynopsisIn this open access book, Carlos Montemayor illuminates the development of artificial intelligence (AI) by examining our drive to live a dignified life. He uses the notions of agency and attention to consider our pursuit of what is important. His method shows how the best way to guarantee value alignment between humans and potentially intelligent machines is through attention routines that satisfy similar needs. Setting out a theoretical framework for AI Montemayor acknowledges its legal, moral, and political implications and takes into account how epistemic agency differs from moral agency. Through his insightful comparisons between human and animal intelligence, Montemayor makes it clear why adopting a need-based attention approach justifies a humanitarian framework. This is an urgent, timely argument for developing AI technologies based on international human rights agreements. The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsbTrade ReviewThe book by Montemayor is based on the solid ground of attention mechanisms, and it offers an urgent and original reflection on AI, the alignment of values, and the relevance of human rights in the development of AI systems. * Antonio Chella, Professor in Robotics, University of Palermo, Italy *Table of ContentsList of Figures Preface Acknowledgments Glossary and Abbreviations Introduction: Normative Aspects of AI Development 1.

Book SynopsisPeter Sjöstedt Hughes is Research Fellow and Associate Lecturer in Philosophy at the University of Exeter, UK. Christine Hauskeller is Professor of Moral and Political Philosophy at the University of Exeter, UK.Trade ReviewPhilosophy and Psychedelics is a fabulous book – it’s psychedelicious – a rich thoughtful collection which exceeds the samples I’ve considered here. It should be read slowly and sporadically rather than gorged, to avoid indigestion and prolong the pleasure. * Psychiatrie en Filosofie *This impressive multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary collection surveys the impacts of psychedelic research on philosophy, science and culture. Examinations of standard philosophical problems in light of psychedelic experience are complemented by studies of broader cultural and cross-cultural significance of psychedelia. Its inclusion of non-Western perspectives on psychedelics sets an important example. * Farzad Mahootian, Clinical Associate Prof., Global Liberal Studies, New York University, USA *Sacred plants and substances propitiate knowledge based on direct experience. Like a strong wind on fallen leaves, they disturbed previous orders, raise questions, propose new hypothesis, induce wondering at many levels. The authors of this timely book make an important contribution to a conversation that cannot be ignored any longer, one that has its deeper roots in the ancestral traditions of all continents, and which seems especially urgent in these times of extremes and uncertainty. * Luis Eduardo Luna, Director of the Wasiwaska Research Center, Brazil *Table of ContentsIntroduction – Peter Sjöstedt-Hughes and Christine Hauskeller(University of Exeter, UK) 1.

Book SynopsisThe Matter of the Mind addresses and illuminates the relationship between psychology and neuroscience by focusing on the topic of reduction. Written by leading philosophers in the field Discusses recent theorizing in the mind-brain sciences and reviews and weighs the evidence in favour of reductionism against the backdrop of recent important advances within psychology and the neurosciences Collects the latest work on central topics where neuroscience is now making inroads in traditional psychological terrain, such as adaptive behaviour, reward systems, consciousness, and social cognition. Trade Review“The Matter of the Mind is a well organized book which hosts contributions on the main subjects about philosophy of mind and it is definitely worthwhile reading.” (Metapsychology, 14 May 2013) "The editors, and the contributors, are to be congratulated. This is the best collection on the nature of intertheoretic reduction ever published, especially as those issues bear on the unfolding relations between the neurosciences on the one hand, and psychology and the social sciences on the other. Thanks to these papers, all of us (yours truly included) are going to be rethinking our views on reduction." Paul M. Churchland, University of California, San Diego "Parties on both sides of the reductionism wars will benefit from this exciting collection. The editors and their contributors well represent the cutting edges of the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of science regarding the reducibility (or lack thereof) of minds to brains."

Book SynopsisInsight is widely regarded as Bernard Lonergan’s masterwork. Worked out over a period of twenty-eight years, its aim was to present a theory of human knowing that underpinned the wide range of disciplines it addressed and their distinctive insights. In Lonergan’s Quest, William A. Mathews details the genesis, researching, composition, and question structure of Insight. The path to Insight began for Lonergan in the 1920s with his studies in philosophy at Heythrop College. Questioning many of the accepted truths of those studies, Lonergan's interests moved to economics while teaching in Depression-era Montreal, and later to theology and the philosophy of history while studying in Rome. The writing of Insight began in earnest in 1949 and soon evolved into Lonergan’s masterpiece, encompassing his many divergent, but philosophically coherent, streams of thought. An intellectual biography, Lonergan’s Quest locates

Book SynopsisProfessor Brown in this volume discusses one of the most difficult questions in metaphysics, “what is action?” His analysis proceeds along three main lines of thought: the point of view of the agent, the primacy of inanimate action, and the pervasiveness of explanatory insight in the description of action. In the spirit of recent work on practical reasoning, he takes the central fact about human action to be the existence of the point of view, and considers the agent’s relation to his own body, Professor Brown argues that the concept of human action is best understood through that of inanimate action, such as the action of wind on trees or an axe on wood. His analysis takes inanimate action as fundamental, and defends it against the popular theory that it is an anthropomorphic projection. Human action is indeed unique. But it is also Professor Brown’s thesis that the classical empiricist search for the brute fact of our own agency yields no more than incident

Book SynopsisAn alarming number of philosophers and cognitive scientists have argued that mind extends beyond the brain and body. This book evaluates these arguments and suggests that, typically, it does not. A timely and relevant study that exposes the need to develop a more sophisticated theory of cognition, while pointing to a bold new direction in exploring the nature of cognition Articulates and defends the mark of the cognitive, a common sense theory used to distinguish between cognitive and non-cognitive processes Challenges the current popularity of extended cognition theory through critical analysis and by pointing out fallacies and shortcoming in the literature Stimulates discussions that will advance debate about the nature of cognition in the cognitive sciences Trade Review"Where is human cognition located? Is human cognitive processing literally constituted (at least partly) by non-neural portions of the environment? The contemporary debate about extended cognition and the extended mind focuses on these questions, among others. Frederick Adams and Kenneth Aizawa's new book, The Bounds of Cognition (BC), contributes wonderfully to this debate. The book is critical of the extended approach; but Adams and Aizawa (A&A) also work toward a positive view, one that allows, in principle, for extended cognition, while yielding very little of it when fed the empirical facts."(Philosophical Psychology, November 2010) “The Bounds of Cognition is the most thorough-going, forceful, and compelling critique of EMH so far.” ( Erkenntnis, September 2009) "[This book] is without question a worthy and timely challenge to extended cognition, as well as to areas in related enterprises such as embodied cognition, situated cognition, dynamical systems theory and artificial life.... I recommend the book highly to anyone interested in these issues." (Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences, June 2009) "This is a well written, well argued book. Written by philosophers mainly for philosophers.... It makes a serious contribution to the extended cognition debate that anyone with a serious interest in the issue needs to study." (Journal of Consciousness Studies, January 2009) "Advocates of EMT must undoubtedly examine the arguments and criticisms that Adams and Aizawa offer in careful detail, because The Bounds of Cognition is the most forceful and most convincing criticism of their position so far." (Metapsychology, October 2008) “The [authors] wrote this book as a reasoned challenge … .[It] offers an excellent overview of the promise, limits, and problems of bounded cognition.

Jaworski's book is a well-written, comprehensive, and sophisticated primer on all the live positions on the mindbody problem, including various kinds of physicalism, emergentism, and his own favorite, hylomorphism. This is a serious and responsible book for philosophy students, philosophers, and mind scientists who want to understand where they stand philosophically.Owen Flanagan, Duke University Philosophy of Mind introduces readers to one of the liveliest fields in contemporary philosophy by discussing mindbody problems and the range of solutions to them: varieties of substance dualism, physicalism, dual-attribute theory, neutral monism, idealism, and hylomorphism.

Book SynopsisClose your eyes and ask yourself, ''what do I feel?''You might feel thirsty or tired. You might feel healthy and well or perhaps a little under the weather. Maybe you can feel that you are standing or that you are leaning over. You may also feel the world around you - the shape and texture of an apple in your hand, the feel of a chair you''re sitting on.All these feelings have something in common, say psychologists and neuroscientists. They are all mental events, things that happen in the mind. But what if this is all wrong?What if it''s not just the mind, but also the body itself that feels? And not merely physical sensations, but other feelings that seem to have nothing to do with bodies. Things like ''emotions'' and ''intuitions'' - joy or rage, anxiety or optimism, or the feeling of being hard done by or misunderstood?Drawing on the latest research and a range of classic and contemporary thought, How You Feel shows you that your braiTrade ReviewOnce you have read How You Feel, I promise you cannot help but become mindfully aware of the inner intricate machinery that is our body and the spooky relationship it has with our mind.
