In the second part, \"Recent Developments in the Philosophy of Science,\" chapters place the mind-body problem within the wider context of the philosophy of science. Drawing on recent research in this area, a general account of intertheoretic reduction is explained, arguments for a reductionist strategy are developed, and traditional objections from dualists and other anti reductionists are answered in novel ways. The third part, \"A Neurophilosophical Perspective,\" concludes the book with a presentation and discussion of some of the most promising theoretical developments currently under exploration in functional neurobiology and in the connectionist models within artificial intelligence research.\nA Bradford Book.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MIT Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45255516520501,"sku":"ByrdShop_0262530856","price":41.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780262530859_ccda9fdc-50e8-48d9-94e5-ce06f5784964.jpg?v=1779931232","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/neurophilosophy-toward-a-unified-science-of-the-mindbrain-9780262530859","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
