{"product_id":"stinking-philosophy-benjamin-young-9780262548885","title":"Stinking Philosophy!: Smell Perception, Cognition, and Consciousness","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe nature of olfaction; its importance for understanding perennial issues of philosophy of mind, perception, and consciousness; and its implications for cognitive neuroscience.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhat are smells? Despite the best efforts of philosophy and the chemosciences, the question remains vexing--but no more perplexing than the historical lapse of the past centuries to seriously consider a sense that has a key place in philosophy of mind and perception. \u003ci\u003eStinking Philosophy!\u003c\/i\u003e is Benjamin Young's answer to this critical lapse. Drawing together more than a decade's research on olfactory philosophy, the book offers a clear, comprehensive look at the nature of odors--how we perceive smells, how we cognitively represent odors, how we communicate about them as categories, and what they can tell us about consciousness. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eStinking Philosophy!\u003c\/i\u003e Young presents a methodology for addressing the philosophical and conceptual issues raised by the sense of smell. Then, in an exacting and coherent fashion, he explores how the philosophy of smell contributes to--and advances--a wide range of debates within philosophy of mind, perception, and cognitive neuroscience. Ultimately, his work demonstrates how empirically informed philosophy can have a significant impact on interdisciplinary research on smell across philosophy, the chemosciences, and neuroscience.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Benjamin Young\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0262548887\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780262548885\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e MIT Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/06\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 248\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Benjamin Young","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46024922169599,"sku":"9780262548885","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7da82a8e-a490-4e2f-a625-1170bf236b24.jpg?v=1723129542","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/stinking-philosophy-benjamin-young-9780262548885","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
