It presents a critical dialogue with various materialistic anthropologies directly addressed by Augustine himself, or those which have arisen at later periods, including epiphenomenalism, mind-brain identity theory, Marxism and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ludger Hölscher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415822394\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415822398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/11\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 354\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.27lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.20w x 0.90d","brand":"Ludger Hölscher","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064962658559,"sku":"9780415822398","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b751a9fb-d51e-4ea7-af0b-34a06405d09f.jpg?v=1768672213","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-reality-of-the-mind-ludger-hzilscher-9780415822398","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
