Opis

A great deal of work in philosophy is concerned with some aspect of the complex tangle of problems and puzzles roughly labelled the mind-body problem. This book offers an introduction to this problem. It discusses mechanism - the idea that minds are machines - focusing on Searle's Chinese Room argument.
