Is your mind the same thing as your brain? How does what's happening in your mind cause your behaviour? Can you know what's going on in other people's minds? Can you even be sure what's going on in your own? Are babies conscious? How about cats? Or self-driving cars?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePhilosophy of mind grapples with questions like these, exploring who we are and how we fit into the world. In this student-friendly guide, McClelland introduces the key ideas in philosophy of mind, showing why they matter and how philosophers have tried to answer them. He covers the major historical moments in philosophy of mind, from Descartes and his troubles with immaterial souls up to today's 'consciousness wars'. Additionally, he examines the implications that philosophy of mind has for psychology, artificial intelligence and even particle physics. McClelland lays out the centuries-long dialogue between philosophy and science, presenting a uniquely grounded, practical picture of the field for students.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eRich with real-world examples and written for the absolute beginner, \u003ci\u003eWhat is Philosophy of Mind?\u003c\/i\u003e gives students the tools to delve deeper into this dynamic field of philosophy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tom McClelland\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509538771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509538775\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Polity Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/28\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Tom McClelland","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43982364573951,"sku":"9781509538775","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fe73062c-79ea-4905-8988-a43bcf4d5da0.jpg?v=1683260733","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/what-is-philosophy-of-mind-tom-mcclelland-9781509538775","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
