- Summary:
- The mind-body problem has been one of the most intensely debated in philosophy during the last century. Yet the historical context from which this has developed has largely been ignored. History of the Mind-Body Problem is a collection of new essays on the various concerns that have given rise to and informed the mind-body problem in philosophy.
- Contemporary debates over the mind-body problem contain a number of different views on how it should be approached, what its sources are, and what its present condition and importance is. History of the Mind-Body Problem puts these views in a much needed historical context and asks anew what history can tell us about the relation of mind to body.
