More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
This book deals with the materialist view of the nature of the mind. Geoffrey Madell outlines past and current materialist views and the arguments which have been put forward refuting these. He examines the four alleged "failures" in the materialist programme - the failure to make sense of intentionality of thought - the lack of a convincing explanation of the autonomy of psychology - the failure of materialism to take the essential subjectivity of experience into account - and the fact that materialism cannot account for indexical thought - thoughts centring on words like "this", "here" and "I". He then puts forward an argument for the claim that the strengths of a Cartesian position on the subject have been greatly underestimated.
