Jordi Fernandez

Transparent Minds

A Study of Self-Knowledge

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

How do we know our current states of mind--what we want, and believe in? Jordi Fernández proposes a new theory of self-knowledge, challenging the traditional view that it is a matter of introspection. He argues that we know what we believe and desire by 'looking outward', towards the states of affairs which those beliefs and desires are about.
