Brings Together In A Systematic Way Anthony Kenny's Work In The Philosopy Of Mind. It Is Intended As A Sustained Attack On A False View Of The Mind, The Cartesian View, And A Demonstration That Clarity Is Impossible Without Good Metaphysics. Anthony Kenny. Includes Bibliographical References And Index. Mode Of Access: World Wide Web.
This work investigates the core question of whether a coherent philosophy of mind can exist without a rigorous metaphysical foundation, specifically challenging the Cartesian dualist tradition. Anthony Kenny, a prominent philosopher known for his work on Wittgenstein and the history of Western philosophy, synthesizes his previous inquiries into a systematic critique. He argues that the prevailing Cartesian view of the mind as a separate, non-physical entity is fundamentally flawed and seeks to dismantle its influence on contemporary thought.
