Naturalizing the Mind (The Jean Nicod Lectures, 1995)

By Fred I. Dretske

Book Overview

How can the baffling problems of phenomenal experience be accounted for? In this discourse Fred Dretske argues that to achieve an understanding of the mind it is not enough to understand the biological machinery by means of which the mind does its job. One must understand what the mind's job is and how this task can be performed by a physical system - the nervous system.
