The essays reflect the interests of the Center for Subjectivity Research and seek to address the following issue: To what extent can the current discussion of consciousness in mainstream cognitive science and analytical philosophy of mind profit from insights drawn from the investigations of subjectivity found in the Kantian and post-Kantian tradition as well as in the phenomenological and hermeneutical tradition. The contributions include some that are philosophical, while others relate to issues in empirical science, such as pscyhopathology, cognitive neuroscience, and developmental psychology.

In Matter and Consciousness, Paul Churchland clearly presents the advantages and disadvantages of such difficult issues in philosophy of mind as behaviorism, reductive materialism, functionalism, and eliminative materialism. This new edition incorporates the striking developments that have taken place in neuroscience, cognitive science, and artificial intelligence and notes their expanding relevance to philosophical issues. Churchland organizes and clarifies the new theoretical and experimental results of the natural sciences for a wider philosophical audience, observing that this research bears directly on questions concerning the basic elements of cognitive activity and their implementation in real physical systems. (How is it, he asks, that living creatures perform some cognitive tasks so swiftly and easily, where computers do them only badly or not at all?) Most significant for philosophy, Churchland asserts, is the support these results tend to give to the reductive and the eliminative versions of materialism. A Bradford Book.

本书由作者不同时期的八篇论文构成。在书中，作者对功能主义、计算主义、目的论等自然主义的意向性理论提出了批评，指出它们都未能就意识的实现问题给出合理解释。在此基础之上，麦金提出了“认知封闭”的概念，在主张意识是一种并不神秘的自然现象的同时，提出意识问题本身超出了人类固有的认知能力。如此，心灵哲学家们所谈论的意识问题也被消解掉了。

本书是当代心灵哲学家辛西娅·麦克唐纳对心灵哲学中的心身关系问题的系统思考。在追溯J.J.C.斯马特和U.T.普赖斯的类型—类型同一论、阿姆斯特朗和大卫·刘易斯的功能—作用同一论、戴维森和金在权的个例事件同一论等同一论的复杂历史演进之后，麦克唐纳主张非还原的物理主义即个例事件同一论，借助于一种适当的事件本体论，能够有效地回应可多样实现性反对意见和现象属性反对意见对心身同一论的责难，从而为心身关系提出一种统一的说明。

《现代西方心灵哲学》在分析心灵哲学的定义、美与科学的关系以及研究意义的基础上，对西方心灵哲学的起源、演变尤其是在现当代的发展作了全面系统的探讨和评价。

Philosophy of Mind: A Contemporary Introduction covers the major topics typically studied in philosophy of mind and discusses the dualist, behaviorist, functionalist, interpretationist, and eliminativist accounts of the nature of mind, along with a critical assessment of the recent trends in the subject. This fully revised and updated version of the highly successful first edition builds on the previously addressed themes and expands on central topics. The new edition includes: * A brand new chapter on consciousness * An expansion of the Davidson and Dennett discussions, splitting them into two stand-alone chapters * A chapter looking at general issues associated with present day approaches to the theory of mind

The most important work by one of America's greatest twentieth-century philosophers, Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind is both the epitome of Wilfrid Sellars' entire philosophical system and a key document in the history of philosophy. First published in essay form in 1956, it helped bring about a sea change in analytic philosophy. It broke the link, which had bound Russell and Ayer to Locke and Hume--the doctrine of "knowledge by acquaintance." Sellars' attack on the Myth of the Given in Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind was a decisive move in turning analytic philosophy away from the foundationalist motives of the logical empiricists and raised doubts about the very idea of "epistemology." With an introduction by Richard Rorty to situate the work within the history of recent philosophy, and with a study guide by Robert Brandom, this publication of Empiricism and the Philosophy of Mind makes a difficult but indisputably significant figure in the development of analytic philosophy clear and comprehensible to anyone who would understand that philosophy or its history.

The philosophy of mind has long been part of the core philosophy curriculum, and this book is the classic, comprehensive survey of the subject. Designed as an introduction to the field for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, Philosophy of Mind focuses on the mind-body problem and related issues, some touching on the status of psychology and cognitive science. The third edition has been thoroughly updated throughout to reflect developments of the past decade, and it is the only text of its kind that provides a serious and respectful treatment of substance dualism. This edition also includes two new chapters on the nature of consciousness and the status of consciousness. Improved readability and clarity has been one important aim of the new edition. Throughout the text, author Jaegwon Kim allows readers to come to their own terms with the central problems of the mind. At the same time, Kim's own emerging views are on display and serve to move the discussion forward. Comprehensive, clear, and fair, Philosophy of Mind is a model of philosophical exposition and a significant contribution to the field.

为了探讨哲学和元哲学问题，实验哲学借用心理学和认知科学中的实验研究方法。它探讨了关于心理世界的本性的哲学问题——我们关对事物所形成的概念的结构或意义，探讨了关于非心理世界的本性的哲学问题——物自身。它还探索了哲学探究的本性以及探究哲学的合适方法论等元哲学问题。 本书为这一富有创新性的领域提供了一个详实的和令人振奋的导论，聚焦于实验哲学和更加传统的分析哲学的目标与方法之间的关系。本书特别注重详细认真地检视实验哲学中截然不同的哲学计划，实验哲学的独特的优势与不足，以及实验哲学对于我们的哲学理解所能够作出的独特贡献。全书语言清新流畅，可读性强，在当代和历史的语境中定位实验哲学，解释了实验哲学的目标和方法，通过与实验哲学批评者的交战，检视并批判性地评价了实验哲学最富有意义的主张和论证。

物理主义从诸多方面看都是现代分析哲学的世界观，是当前西方哲学界最受关注的领域之一。本书作者是研究物理主义的名家，这本书是他的代表作之一，在西方哲学界颇受关注。在书中，作者重点讨论了三组问题：第一组问题涉及物理主义观点的阐释，第二组问题涉及物理主义的真或假，第三组问题关心物理主义的哲学意义。通过对三组问题的讨论，作者得出的观点是：对物理主义的怀疑是正确的，但这并未给文献中经常描绘的那种哲学带来灾难性影响。本书内容丰富，对物理主义的介绍全面均衡，对相关的代表性理论的分析透彻深入，是目前对该主题最好的导论。

这部理论哲学著作包含五个部分的内容，分别讨论心灵的特点、语词的意义、知识的地位、世界的结构以及宗教信念的性质。作者试着在当代显著的多元思想的背景下，分析和探索人类心灵与其他自然事物的连续性、真理和实在的客观性、以及一种统一的世界观的可能性。

《具身心智:认知科学和人类经验》内容简介：人类的心智（mind）和行为也许是宇宙间最顶端、最复杂也是最奇异的现象了，但人类只有通过自身的心智和行为才能认识和理解自己。无怪乎美国著名的认知神经科学家达玛西奥（A.Damasio）在研究意识时发出这样的感叹：“还有什么比知道如何知道更困难的事情呢？正因为我们有意识，才使我们能够，甚至不可避免地要对意识提出疑问，还有什么比认识到这一点更让人惊异和迷乱的呢？”“知道如何知道”——这正是认知科学的根本任务，而且也是促使其从哲学认识论中萌芽并最终在当代的哲学科学研究中枝繁叶茂的根本动力。
