Robert Kirk

Conceptual Link from Physical to Mental

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

How are truths about physical and mental states related? Robert Kirk articulates and defends 'redescriptive physicalism'--a fresh approach to the connection between the physical and the mental, which answers the problems that mental causation has traditionally raised for other non-reductive views.
