Sinopsis

The concept of ?having a mind? is one of the key concepts that we use to carve a division of extreme significance into the universe. We say that parts of the universe ?have a mind? and that parts of the universe do not ?have a mind?. But what exactly is a mind? In this book John King claims that to have a mind is to think, this may seem obvious. But on route to this conclusion he discards a multitude of views concerning the mental - that ?having a mind? is to do with freedom, or awareness, or intentionality, or perception, or feeling states, or the inner cause of certain movements, or a ?central core? of these attributes. This analysis is sure to help the reader clarify their own beliefs about what a mind is.
