Current Controversies in Philosophy of Mind

<p>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: </p> <ul> <li>Mind and Body: The Prospects for Russellian Monism</li> <li>Mind in Body: The Scope and Nature of Embodied Cognition</li> <li>Consciousness: Representationalism and the Phenomenology of Moods</li> <li>Mental Representation: The Project of Naturalization</li> <li>The Nature of Mind: The Importance of Consciousness.</li></ul> <p>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.</p> <p>　</p>
