This is a comprehensive, clear and authoritative guide to the subject's history, its key themes and concepts, and those philosophers who have most influenced it, aimed at students encountering the discipline for the first time. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe text illustrates the importance of the concept of mind in defining what it is to be human; this unifies the discussion and analysis of specific topics. Having outlined the major traditional accounts of the nature of the mind in western philosophy, the book goes on to examine such important concepts as subjectivity, intentionality and behaviour. The book also explores how far the concept of mind can be extended to animals and machines, such as computers and robots. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePhilosophy undergraduates will find this an invaluable aid to study, one that goes beyond simple definitions and summaries to really open up fascinating and important ideas and arguments.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eEric Matthews is Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at the University of Aberdeen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 160\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.74 x 8.46 x 5.48 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e October 20, 2005\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47450009698482,"sku":"9780826471123","price":66.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0770\/3891\/1666\/files\/5ebf39efc1c72ec2b018c4692a7d0b58.webp?v=1778777821","url":"https:\/\/box.dadyminds.org\/products\/mind-key-concepts-in-philosophy-paperback","provider":"DADYMINDS BOX","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
