Description

Explore the complex relationship between brain activity and mental states with Epiphenomenal Mind. Published by Routledge as part of the Routledge Studies in Contemporary Philosophy, this book provides a rigorous defense of an epiphenomenalist account of the philosophy of mind. According to the theory of epiphenomenalism, our behaviors are caused by events in the brain that also produce our mentality. While this mentality reflects how our brains are organized, it does not cause physical actions in return. This work builds upon existing research to expand the conversation beyond simple sensations. It applies an epiphenomenalist perspective to a wide range of mental causation topics, including beliefs, desires, pleasure, and displeasure. The text is structured to guide readers through a deep analysis of mental states. The first four chapters focus on developing a dualistic theory of sensations, setting a foundation for the broader arguments presented throughout the book. This is an essential resource for students and scholars interested in cognition and cognitive psychology.
