The Centered Mind: What the Science of Working Memory Shows Us about the Nature of Human Thought
ISBN: 9780198738824 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. The Centered Mind offers a new view of the nature and causal determinants of both reflective thinking and, more generally, the stream of consciousness. Peter Carruthers argues that conscious thought is always sensory-based, relying on the resources of the working-memory system. This system has been much studied by cognitive scientists. It enables sensory images to be sustained and manipulated through attentional signals directed at midlevel sensory areas of the brain. When abstract conceptual representations are bound into these images, we consciously experience ourselves as making...

Opacity of Mind: An Integrative Theory of Self-Knowledge
ISBN: 9780199596195 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 448 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. It is widely believed that people have privileged and authoritative access to their own thoughts, and many theories have been proposed to explain this supposed fact. The Opacity of Mind challenges the consensus view and subjects the theories in question to critical scrutiny, while showing that they are not protected against the findings of cognitive science by belonging to a separate "explanatory space." The book argues that our access to our own thoughts is almost always interpretive, grounded in perceptual awareness of our own circumstances and behavior, together with our own sensory...

Phenomenal Consciousness: A Naturalistic Theory
ISBN: 9780521781732 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 368 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. How can phenomenal consciousness exist as an integral part of a physical universe? How can the technicolor phenomenology of our inner lives be created out of the complex neural activities of our brains? Peter Carruthers argues that the subjective feel of our experience is fully explicable in naturalistic (scientifically acceptable) terms, and draws on interdisciplinary resources to develop and defend a novel account in terms of higher-order thought. Phenomenal Consciousness is essential reading for all those in philosophy and the cognitive sciences who are interested in the problem of...

Language and Thought: Interdisciplinary Themes
ISBN: 9780521637589 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 340 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. What is the place of language in human cognition? Do we sometimes think in natural language? Or is language for purposes of interpersonal communication only? Although these questions have been much debated in the past, in recent decades they have almost dropped from sight among those interested in the cognitive sciences. Language and Thought is intended to persuade such people to think again. It brings together essays by a distinguished interdisciplinary team of philosophers and psychologists, who discuss various ways in which language may be implicated in human cognition.

Language, Thought and Consciousness: An Essay in Philosophical Psychology
ISBN: 9780521639996 / Angielski / Miękka / 1998 / 308 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Do we think in natural language? Or is language only for communication? Much recent work in philosophy and cognitive science assumes the latter. In contrast, Peter Carruthers argues that much of human conscious thinking is conducted in the medium of natural language sentences. However, this does not commit him to any sort of Whorfian linguistic relativism, and the view is developed within a framework that is broadly nativist and modularist. His study will be essential reading for all those interested in the nature and significance of natural language, whether they come from philosophy,...

The Animals Issue: Moral Theory in Practice
ISBN: 9780521436892 / Angielski / Miękka / 1992 / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Do animals have moral rights? In contrast to the philosophical gurus of the animal rights movement, whose opinion has held moral sway in recent years, Peter Carruthers here claims that they do not. He explores a variety of moral theories, arguing that animals lack direct moral significance. This provocative but judiciously argued book will appeal to all those interested in animal rights, whatever their initial standpoint. It will also serve as a lively introduction to ethics, demonstrating why theoretical issues in ethics actually matter.

Consciousness: Essays from a Higher-Order Perspective
ISBN: 9780199277360 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 256 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Peter Carruthers's essays on consciousness and related issues have had a substantial impact on the field, and many of his best are now collected here in revised form. Together they develop, defend, and explore the implications of Carruthers's distinctive theory of experiential consciousness; they discuss the differences between conscious experiencing and conscious thinking; and, controversially, they consider what would follow, either for morality or for comparative psychology, if it should turn out that animals lack conscious experiences. This collection will be of great interest to anyone...

Human and Animal Minds: The Consciousness Questions Laid to Rest
ISBN: 9780198843702 / Angielski / Twarda / 2020 / 240 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Claims about consciousness in animals are often made in support of their moral standing. Peter Carruthers argues that there is no fact of the matter about animal consciousness and it is of no scientific or ethical significance. Sympathy for an animal can be grounded in its mental states, but should not rely on assumptions about its consciousness.
