Joseph Mendola

Anti-Externalism

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Internalism about the mind is the view that your thoughts and sensations are constituted by conditions inside your skin. Externalism denies this, and over the past thirty years has become the dominant view in philosophy of mind. Joseph Mendola argues that the externalist theories are false and develops a viable internalist alternative.
