9780809306794: Meditation on a Prisoner Towards Understanding Action and Mind

Sinossi

In this brilliant analysis of mind-body problems Edward Pols adds new dimen­sions to the discussion of basic issues.

 

The prisoner is Socrates, who, in a se­ries of actions involving moral decisions, finds himself under sentence of death, and who has now decided to undergo the sentence rather than accept the opportuni­ty to escape provided by powerful friends. Pols takes as his point of departure Socrates’ naïve statement of the contrast be­tween a scientific analysis of a moral action and the point of view taken by the agent himself, and his rejection of the adequacy of the scientific analysis.
