Description for The Metaphysics of Mind
Paperback. Brings together in a systematic way Anthony Kenny's work in the philosopy of mind. It is intended as a sustained attack on a false view of the mind, the Cartesian view, and a demonstration that clarity is impossible without good metaphysics. Num Pages: 176 pages, bibliography. BIC Classification: HPJ; HPM. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 196 x 128 x 10. Weight in Grams: 194.
The ideas of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Gilbert Ryle have had a major influence on the work of Anthony Kenny, who has explored many aspects of the philosophy of mind in a series of books over the past twenty-five years. Modelled on the structure of Ryle's The Concept of Mind, this book forges Kenny's ideas on philosophical psychology into a systematic whole. Written in a style that avoids jargon and academic controversy, it is both accessible to the general reader and challenging for the specialist.
