Mind Body Problem

In this book the philosopher Jonathan Westphal examines the mind-body problem in detail, laying out the reasoning behind the solutions that have been offered in the past and presenting his own proposal. The sharp focus on the mind-body problem, a problem that is not about the self or consciousness or the soul or anything other than the mind and the body, helps clarify both problem and solutions. Westphal outlines the history of the mind-body problem, beginning with Descartes.

But The Hard Problem of Matter argues that the question has been holding the equation upside down. Atoms are not things. The world is not built out of stuff. This isn't mysticism. It's what the founders of quantum ...

In July 1656, the leaders of Amsterdam's Portuguese synagogue gathered by candlelight to pronounce a curse. Its object was a young man of twenty-three, a merchant's son named Baruch Spinoza.

We have only the reaction, the way you might infer the size of a stone from the violence of the splash. This book is about the stone. The idea that made Spinoza the most dangerous man in Europe can be stated in ...
