The Metaphysics of Mind

About this book

What is mind? This book addresses a timeless question in an especially lively fashion using language accessible to the layperson but offering a rigor that will please the specialist. Drawing on the groundbreaking work of Ludwig Wittgenstein and using a structural approach similar to that of Gilbert Ryles classic The Concept of Mind Metaphysics of Mind forges the ideas of those influential thinkers with Kennys own lifelong investigations into mind to create a classic work on philosophical psychology. Ranging from discussions of Cartesian dualism through theories of emotion to profound examinations of the imagination and intellect Metaphysics of Mind is a book for anyone who has ever tried to understand the meaning and place of human consciousness in a vast physical universe.
