Jaegwon Kim 是心灵哲学和形而上学最杰出和最有影响力的贡献者之一。这本论文集展示了他关于附带性和心灵的著作的核心,并附有两套专门为本书撰写的后记。文章重点讨论因果关系和事件的本质、除因果关系之外什么依赖关系连接事实和事件、附带性分析以及心身问题等问题。心灵哲学的一个中心问题是解释心灵如何因果地影响身体过程。 Kim教授详细探讨了这个问题,批评了它的非还原论解决方案,并提出了他自己的改进的还原论解决方案。专业哲学家和他们的研究生都会发现这是一个无价的收藏。
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.
