商品描述

A new way to teach philosophy of mind and psychology that makes room for action-first views.

Much of contemporary philosophical discourse of the mind is dominated by understanding the mind as a naturally evolved kind of computer. In this view, evolution has equipped us with a biological information processor, and it is thanks to cognitive operations that we perceive, act intelligently, and think. By contrast, this novel textbook presents an agential view of the philosophy of mind where action, rather than thought, is the most important thing a mind does. Erik Myin covers a broad range of action-based views--embodied, embedded, enacted, extended, and enculturated--while providing a thorough introduction to standard analytical philosophy of mind. Balancing historical perspectives with forward-looking pluralism, Myin tells a different story about the philosophy of mind that expands, rather than constrains, possibilities and provides a relevant blueprint for the next generation of thinkers in the field.

  • Offers an innovative, agential view of the philosophy of mind
  • Integrates coverage of historical thinking and contemporary developments
  • Details action-first views of the mind
  • Suits undergraduate students in philosophy and psychology

商品描述(中文翻譯)

一種新的心智哲學與心理學教學方式，為行動優先的觀點留出空間。

當代心智哲學的討論大多以將心智理解為自然演化出來的一種計算機為主。在這種觀點下，演化使我們具備了一種生物信息處理器，正是由於認知操作，我們才能感知、智能行動和思考。相對而言，這本新教材提出了一種心智哲學的行動主義觀點，認為行動而非思考是心智最重要的功能。Erik Myin 涵蓋了廣泛的基於行動的觀點——具身的、嵌入的、實踐的、擴展的和文化化的，同時提供了對標準分析心智哲學的全面介紹。Myin 在平衡歷史觀點與前瞻性多元主義的同時，講述了一個不同的心智哲學故事，擴展而非限制了可能性，並為下一代該領域的思想家提供了一個相關的藍圖。


  • 提供創新的行動主義心智哲學觀點

  • 整合歷史思考與當代發展的內容

  • 詳細說明行動優先的心智觀點

  • 適合哲學與心理學的本科生
