Challenges contemporary philosophy of mind debates by arguing that standard positions: reductionism, eliminativism, dualism, and non-reductive physicalism rest on outdated assumptions from seventeenth-century rationalism and twentieth-century logical empiricism about intertheoretic reduction, demonstrating that true reductions are rare throughout sciences with "explanatory gaps all the way down," proposing cognitive pluralism as an alternative paradigm recognizing mental phenomena's irreducibility as typical rather than unique among special sciences. Keywords: Intertheoretic Reduction, Explanatory Gap, Special Sciences, Theory Pluralism, Mind Body Problem, Logical Empiricism, Scientific Disunity, Physicalism Critique, Mental Causation, Property Dualism, Eliminativism, Cognitive Architecture.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Contemporary philosophers of mind tend to assume that the world of nature can be reduced to basic physics. Yet there are features of the mind consciousness, intentionality, normativity that do not seem to be reducible to physics or neuroscience. This explanatory gap between mind and brain has thus been a major cause of concern in recent philosophy of mind. Reductionists hold that, despite all appearances, the mind can be reduced to the brain. Eliminativists hold that it cannot, and that this implies that there is something illegitimate about the mentalistic vocabulary. Dualists hold that the mental is irreducible, and that this implies either a substance or a property dualism. Mysterian non-reductive physicalists hold that the mind is uniquely irreducible, perhaps due to some limitation of our self-understanding.In this book, Steven Horst argues that this whole conversation is based on assumptions left over from an outdated philosophy of science. While reductionism was part of the philosophical orthodoxy fifty years ago, it has been decisively rejected by philosophers of science over the past thirty years, and for good reason. True reductions are in fact exceedingly rare in the sciences, and the conviction that they were there to be found was an artifact of armchair assumptions of 17th century Rationalists and 20th century Logical Empiricists. The explanatory gaps between mind and brain are far from unique. In fact, in the sciences it is gaps all the way down.And if reductions are rare in even the physical sciences, there is little reason to expect them in the case of psychology.Horst argues that this calls for a complete re-thinking of the contemporary problematic in philosophy of mind. Reductionism, dualism, eliminativism and non-reductive materialism are each severely compromised by post-reductionist philosophy of science, and philosophy of mind is in need of a new paradigm.Horst suggests that such a paradigm might be found in Cognitive Pluralism: the view that human cognitive architecture constrains us to understand the world through a plurality of partial, idealized, and pragmatically-constrained models, each employing a particular representational system optimized for its own problem domain. Such an architecture can explain the disunities of knowledge, and is plausible on evolutionary grounds.

Condizione: as new. Cambridge, MA. :MIT Press, 2011. Hardcover. Dustjacket. 277 pp. Contents : Laws and the mind -- Laws, vindication, and ontology -- The received solution in computational psychology -- Cartwritght, universal laws, and fundamentalism -- Empiricism and laws -- Laws and idealization -- Laws and freedom -- Freedom, determinism, and two accounts of laws -- Three appeals and a Kantian conclusion -- Psychophysical laws and models of early vision -- Modeling cortical dynamics -- Belief-desire psychologies. - An account of scientific laws that vindicates the status of psychological laws and shows natural laws to be compatible with free will. In Laws, Mind, and Free Will, Steven Horst addresses the apparent dissonance between the picture of the natural world that arises from the sciences and our understanding of ourselves as agents who think and act. If the mind and the world are entirely governed by natural laws, there seems to be no room left for free will to operate. Moreover, although the laws of physical science are clear and verifiable, the sciences of the mind seem to yield only rough generalizations rather than universal laws of nature. Horst argues that these two familiar problems in philosophy-the apparent tension between free will and natural law and the absence of strict laws in the sciences of the mind-are artifacts of a particular philosophical thesis about the nature of laws: that laws make claims about how objects actually behave. Horst argues against this Empiricist orthodoxy and proposes an alternative account of laws-an account rooted in a cognitivist approach to philosophy of science. Horst argues that once we abandon the Empiricist misunderstandings of the nature of laws there is no contrast between strict laws and generalizations about the mind ( ceteris paribus laws, laws hedged by the caveat other things being equal ), and that a commitment to laws is compatible with a commitment to the existence of free will. Horst's alternative account, which he calls cognitive Pluralism, vindicates the truth of psychological laws and resolves the tension between human freedom and the sciences. Condition : as new copy.
