So Colin McGinn starts his first chapter, and this is his guiding question. He pursues the answer with a boldness and a provocativeness rarely encountered in philosophical writing. As he explains, 'my aim has been to give the reader something definite and stimulating to think about, rather than to present a cautious and disinterested survey of the state of the subject.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHis book provides a general introduction to the philosophy of mind, and covers all the main topics currently at the forefront of debate under that heading.- the mind-body problem, the nature of acquaintance, the relation between thought and language, agency, the self. Colin McGinn writes in non-technical language, but does not shirk the considerable difficulties of the subject, and what he writes will certainly be useful to advanced students as well as to beginners. He stresses in particular the issue of consciousness, and the difficulty of combining the two very different perspectives on the mind that arise from introspection and from the observation of other people. His aim throughout is to identify the recalcitrant problems clearly, and to suggest fruitful approaches to their solution, always avoiding facile answers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaperback\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCondition: good, no notes\/stamps\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eISBN: \u003cstrong\u003e0192891596\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePublishing House: Oxford University Press\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Eureka Editions ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57519799632220,"sku":null,"price":11.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/6333\/3724\/files\/93C3E1C2-672B-4AB2-9D38-A650334E3225.jpg?v=1777726155","url":"https:\/\/www.eurekaedition.com\/products\/opus-by-colin-mcginn","provider":"Eureka Editions ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
