{"product_id":"socializing-minds-martin-lenz-9780197613146","title":"Socializing Minds: Intersubjectivity in Early Modern Philosophy","description":"In this book, Martin Lenz provides the first reconstruction of intersubjective accounts of the mind in early modern philosophy. Some phenomena are easily recognised as social or interactive: certain dances, forms of work and rituals require interaction to come into being or count as valid. But what about mental states, such as thoughts, volitions, or emotions? Do our minds also depend on other minds? The idea that our minds are intersubjective or social seems to be a recent one, developed mainly in the 19th and 20th centuries \u003cem\u003eagainst\u003c\/em\u003e the individualism of early modern philosophers. By contrast, this book argues that well-known early modern philosophers often started from the idea that minds are intersubjective. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHow then does a mind depend on the minds of \u003cem\u003eothers\u003c\/em\u003e? Early modern philosophers are well known to have developed a number of theories designed to explain how we cognize external \u003cem\u003eobjects\u003c\/em\u003e. What is hardly recognized is that early modern philosophers also addressed the problem of how our cognition is influenced by \u003cem\u003eother minds\u003c\/em\u003e. This book provides a historical and rational reconstruction of three central, but different, early modern accounts of the influence that minds exert on one another: Spinoza's metaphysical model, Locke's linguistic model, and Hume's medical model. Showing for each model of mental interaction (1) why it was developed, (2) how it construes mind-mind relations, and (3) what view of the mind it suggests, this book aims at uncovering a crucial part of the unwritten history of intersubjectivity in the philosophy of mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Lenz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0197613144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780197613146\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/03\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.40w x 1.10d","brand":"Martin Lenz","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44054773956863,"sku":"9780197613146","price":80.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ef68f2f9-e505-4397-aa3b-45806761537c.jpg?v=1685031913","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/socializing-minds-martin-lenz-9780197613146","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
