Bøker av E. J. (University of Durham) Lowe

Forms of thought are involved whenever we name, describe, or identify things, and distinguish between what is, might, or must be the case; studying these structures is the main task of philosophical logic. The book will be of interest to students of epistemology and metaphysics, and philosophy of mind and language.

In this book Jonathan Lowe offers a lucid and wide-ranging introduction to the philosophy of mind. His discussion begins with the mind-body problem and moves on to issues such as perception, action, rationality and self-knowledge. It will be of interest to any reader with a basic grounding in modern philosophy.

In this innovative study E. J. Lowe demonstrates the inadequacy of physicalism, even in its mildest, non-reductionist guises, as a basis for a scientifically and philosophically acceptable account of human beings as subjects of experience, thought and action.
