- Summary:
- We often explain the activities of human and non-human animals by refereeing to their special faculties. But what are faculties? How do they work? And how can they be individuated? This book discusses these questions, covering a wide period from Plato up to contemporary debates about faculties as modules of the mind. Book jacket.
