Supervenience and Mind: Selected Philosophical Essays (Cambridge Studies in Philosophy) by Jaegwon Kim (PDF)

Description

Jaegwon Kim is one of the most pre-eminent and most influential contributors to the philosophy of mind and metaphysics. This collection of essays presents the core of his work on supervenience and mind with two sets of postscripts especially written for the book. The essays focus on such issues as the nature of causation and events, what dependency relations other than causal relations connect facts and events, the analysis of supervenience, and the mind-body problem. A central problem in the philosophy of mind is the problem of explaining how the mind can causally influence bodily processes. Professor Kim explores this problem in detail, criticises the nonreductionist solution of it, and offers a modified reductionist solution of his own. Both professional philosophers and their graduate students will find this an invaluable collection.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The low review is specific to the kindle version. Do NOT buy the kindle version it is straight up missing pages. Yes I know how crazy it sounds but the error is present across multiple devices. This is completely unacceptable, there is no excuse. I’m guessing the root cause is a scanning error (the text quality is poor, AND there is no resize text option).If Kim is Reading this, get a new publisher, if Amazon, invest in at least minimal quality controlKnown missing pages 84, 85, half of 83.I haven’t read the whole thing so do not interpret this as a review about the content of the book, what I could read of it was fairly interesting not that I agree with Kim on everything.

⭐Dies ist eine tolle Aufsatzsammlung aus Kims Gesamtwerk. Es gibt jeweils ein Postscript zu den zwei Teilen des Buches, die Kim zusätzlich für diese Buch geschrieben hat und die sehr hilfreich für das Verständnis sind.Als Einführung zu Kim ist das Buch hingegen kaum geeignet. Hier empfielt sich eher der sehr gut geschriebene Aufsatz ‘Mind in a Physical Word’.
