内容简介
······
The philosophy of mind has long been part of the core philosophy curriculum, and this book is the classic, comprehensive survey of the subject. Designed as an introduction to the field for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, Philosophy of Mind focuses on the mind–body problem and related issues, some touching on the status of psychology and cognitive science. The third edition has been thoroughly updated throughout to reflect developments of the past decade, and it is the only text of its kind that provides a serious and respectful treatment of substance dualism. This edition also includes two new chapters on the nature of consciousness and the status of consciousness. Improved readability and clarity has been one important aim of the new edition. Throughout the text, author Jaegwon Kim allows readers to come to their own terms with the central problems of the mind. At the same time, Kim’s own emerging views are on display and serve to move the discussion forward. Comprehensive, clear, and fair, Philosophy of Mind is a model of philosophical exposition and a significant contribution to the field.

呼。开始写论文。
第四章里mental causation的例子不太对，书里的例子说"the pain(或者Cfs) that causes your hand to pull back in jerky motion and makes you cry 'Ouch!'"并不准确，缩手反射作为非条件反射只需要低级神经中枢参与，而疼痛/Cfs需要丘脑和大脑皮层，这是同一stimulus cause的两条反射路径，并且…
