Opis

Helen Steward puts forward a radical critique of the foundations of contemporary philosophy of mind, arguing that it relies too heavily on insecure assumptions about the sorts of things there are in the mind--events, processes, and states. She offers a fresh investigation of these three categories, clarifying the distinctions between them, and argues that the category of state has been very widely and seriously misunderstood.

Recenzje

her book is a notable contribution to current debates, and, more broadly, to general metaphysics. It is full of thought-provoking ideas and, though not easy to read by any means, will amply reward anyone willing to give it a close study.
