Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -what makes a property intrinsic What exactly does the intrinsic/extrinsic distinction rest upon, and how can we reasonably justify this distinction These questions bear great importance on central debates in such diverse philosophical fields as ethics (What is the nature of intrinsic value ), philosophy of mind (Does mental content supervene on internal bodily features ), epistemology (Can intrinsic duplicates differ in the justification of their beliefs ) and philosophy of science (Do the causal powers of an object depend on its extrinsic features ) ¿ to only name a few. Given the central relevance of the intrinsic/extrinsic distinction to philosophical research, a collection of pertinent essays on the topic is an essential addition to the literature. It helps to identify more clearly the problems and arguments that are at stake. The anthology provides a comprehensive overview of central facets of the debates, including both crucial earlier and important new contributions by leading philosophers. As such it constitutes an indispensable component of any serious study of the topic.Walter de Gruyter GmbH, Genthiner Strasse 13, 10785 Berlin 304 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware -This book addresses a tightly knit cluster of questions in the philosophy of mind. There is the question: Are mental properties identical with physical properties An affirmative answer would seem to secure the truth ofphysicalismregarding the mind, i.e., the belief that all mental phenomena obtain solely in virtue of physical phenomena. If the answer is negative, then the question arises: Can thissolely in virtue ofrelation be understood as some kind of dependence short of identity And answering this requires answering two further questions. Exactly what sort of dependence on the physical does physicalism require, and what is needed for a property or phenomenon to qualify as physical It is argued thatmultiple realizabilitystill provides irresistible proof (especially with the possibility of immaterial realizers) that mental properties are not identical with any properties of physics, chemistry, or biology. After refuting various attempts to formulate nonreductive physicalism with the notion ofrealization, a new definition of physicalism is offered. This definition shows how it could be that the mental depends solely on the physical even if mental properties are not identical with those of the natural sciences. Yet, it is also argued that the sort of psychophysical dependence described is robust enough that if it were to obtain, then in a plausible and robust sense of ¿physical¿, mental properties would still qualify as physical properties.Springer Verlag GmbH, Tiergartenstr. 17, 69121 Heidelberg 104 pp. Englisch.
