Content

Hoe is het mogelijk dat de elektrische stroompjes in ons brein leiden tot gedachten, gevoelens, bewuste ervaringen en subjectiviteit? Wat is subjectiviteit eigenlijk? Is ze afhankelijk van een 'zelf'? Als we ervan uitgaan dat al ons denken en doen het resultaat is van hersenprocessen, wat betekent dit dan voor de mogelijkheid van vrije wil? Dit soort vragen zijn typerend voor Philosophy of Mind, Brain and Behaviour.
 
Veel van de problemen en theorieën die in dit boek besproken worden, vallen onder wat traditioneel gezien wordt als de analytische philosophy of mind, zoals het lichaam-geestprobleem, mentale causaliteit, intentionaliteit en bewustzijn. Tegelijkertijd is dit boek echter breder van opzet en bespreekt het verschillende thema's die nauw verbonden zijn met de vraag wat ons mens maakt: het zelf, de vrije wil, hoe wij anderen begrijpen, belichaamde cognitie en emotie.
 
Om een breed academisch publiek te bedienen, is dit boek in het Engels geschreven.
 
How can it possibly be the case that electrical activity in the soggy grey substance of our brains is responsible for our thoughts, our conscious experiences and our subjectivity? What is subjectivity, for that matter? Does it require a ‘self’, or a subject of experience? Is free will a possibility when all we think and do emerges from the physical brain? These are prototypical questions that characterize the philosophy of mind, brain and behaviour that we shall introduce in this book.

Many of the problems and theories discussed in this book fall under what is traditionally known as analytical philosophy of mind, such as the mind-body problem, mental causation, mental content and consciousness. The range of this book, however, is wider, and includes other themes that are directly connected with the bigger issue of what it is that makes us human beings or persons. These topics are ‘the self’, ‘free will’, ‘understanding other minds’, ‘embodied, embedded cognition’ and ‘emotions’.

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages.
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages.
