Reduction: Between the Mind and the Brain
Alexander Hieke (Editor), Hannes Leitgeb (Editor)
Publisher: ontos verlag
ISBN: 3868380469   Edition: Hardcover; 2009-09-23

Summary:

The investigation of the mind has been one of the major concerns of
our philosophical tradition and it still is a dominant subject in
modern philosophy as well as in science. Many philosophers in the
scientific tradition want to solve the 'puzzles of the mind'. But
many philosophers in the very same tradition do regard these puzzles
as puzzles of the brain. So, whilst the former think of the mental as
something of its own kind, the latter deny that philosophy of mind
has to do with anything else but the brain. And then there are those
who think that reduction is the way to go: maybe the mental is
brain-dependent and hence reducible to the physical, in some way.
This volume collects contributions comprising all those points of
view, including articles by William Bechtel, Jerry Fodor, Jaegwon
Kim, Joelle Proust and Patrick Suppes.
