Current Controversies in Philosophy of Mind

Philosophy of mind is one of the most dynamic fields in philosophy, and one that invites debate around several key questions. There currently exist annotated tomes of primary sources, and a handful of single-authored introductions to the field, but there is no book that captures philosophy of mind’s recent dynamic exchanges for a student audience. By bringing compiling ten newly commissioned pieces in which leading philosophers square off on five central, related debates currently engaging the field, editor Uriah Kriegel has provided such a publication.The five debates include: _x005F_x000D_ _x005F_x000D_ Mind and Body: The Prospects for Russellian Monism_x005F_x000D_ Mind in Body: The Scope and Nature of Embodied Cognition_x005F_x000D_ Consciousness: Representationalism and the Phenomenology of Moods_x005F_x000D_ Mental Representation: The Project of Naturalization_x005F_x000D_ The Nature of Mind: The Importance of Consciousness._x005F_x000D_ Preliminary, 200-words descriptions of each chapter, annotated bibliographies for each controversy, and a supplemental guide to further controversies in philosophy of mind (with bibliographies) help provide clearer and richer views of active controversies for all readers._x005F_x000D_
