This anthology brings together readings mainly from contemporary philosophers, but also from writers of the past two centuries, on the philosophy of mind. Some of the main questions addressed are: is a human being really a mind in relation to a body; if so, what exactly is this mind and how it is related to the body; and are there any grounds for supposing that the mind survives the disintegration of the body?
Intended for undergraduate students of philosophy, this anthology contains readings on the philosophy of mind. It addresses fundamental questions concerning the mind's relationship to the body.
