| Description: | 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. The ideas of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Gilbert Ryle have had a major influence on the work of Anthony Kenny, who has explored many aspects of the philosophy of mind in a series of books over the past twenty-five years. Modelled on the structure of Ryle''s The Concept of Mind, this book forges Kenny''s ideas on philosophical psychology into a systematic whole. Written in a style that avoids jargon and academic controversy, it is both accessible to the general reader and challenging for the specialist. |
