Description
Book SynopsisTim Crane takes up fundamental philosophical questions of consciousness, perception, and the experience of our own mental lives. Psychologism, in his formulation, investigates the mind not only empirically and conceptually but also phenomenologically: through the systematic examination of consciousness and thought from the subject's point of view.
Trade ReviewTim Crane is an original and creative voice in contemporary philosophy of mind and perception. These essays make a major contribution toward a more phenomenally-oriented philosophy of perception that also captures the idea that perception is world-presenting and not a matter of the mere reception of blank subjective signs. -- Gary Hatfield, University of Pennsylvania
This volume is a joy to read and provides a refreshing outlook on the topics that it covers. Crane masterfully sets up the dialectic context before introducing his own views. The big picture is never lost, and deep interconnections among apparently disparate theses are exposed. As a result, in addition to learning about Crane’s views, these essays provide the reader with a deeper and broader understanding of some of the important lines of thought and controversies in recent philosophy of mind. I have learned much from this book and highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in contemporary philosophy of mind and its recent history. -- Farid Masrour * Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
