The Immaterial Self a Defence of the Cartesian Dualist Conception of the Mind
- Binding: Paperback
- Publisher: Routledge
- Publish date: 03/01/1997
Description:
The Immmaterial Self examines a dualist account of the mind, a defence of the Cartesian account in which the immaterial contents of the mind are assigned to an immaterial mental subject. Foster vigorously attacks alternative accounts of the mind -- both those, like functionalism and the identity theories, which are opposed to dualism as such, and those which accept dualism in a Humean (non-Cartesian) form. In its final sections, the book develops positive accounts of the attachment of the self to the body, its power of free agency, and its role in personal identity.
