Regions of the Mind (Revised Edition): Commonsense Solutions to Philosophical Problems (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781984127372)

This book cuts through past jargon, confusion, and obfuscation to search for and find the actual truth. Questioning many long held assumptions, G.S. Cobau analyzes various philosophical concepts including the mind, the self, language, consciousness, objectivity, truth, knowledge, and meaning. The result is illuminating. He discovers that materialism and physicalism are objectively false even though they have often been mistakenly accepted by mainstream philosophy and science. Those who believe that consciousness is some kind of illusion or can be reduced to the physical brain are deluding themselves. Internal mental states and conscious experiences need to be accounted for in any realistic scientific theory of the brain.

Given the dismal state of recent philosophy, it is clear that we sorely need something different, a new kind of philosophy based on evidence and reason rather than stale, misguided dogma. This book could spark a new beginning, leading to something more rational, balanced, and objectively true. Believe it or not, a new and better philosophy could be just around the corner.

This revised edition has a new brief introduction to each part as well as several minor errors corrected.
