Paperback octavo, very good plus condition. 95 pp. Plain persons tend to accept that free will exists and is inconsistent with determinism, but this commonsense position is widely debunked by professional philosophers and cognitive scientists. In this special issue of the Journal of Consciousness Studies, David Hodgson defends a simple, robust account of the plain person's position on free will, as well as supporting equally robust views of personal responsibility for conduct. In a lively debate, his ideas are then discussed and challenged by ten philosophers and scientists of varying opinions, including Robert Kane, Henry Stapp, and veteran philosopher of mind J. J. C. Smart, with a response by Hodgson, who is a judge of the Supreme Court of New South Wales, Sydney.…

Paperback octavo, very good plus condition. 284 pp. Traditional cognitive science (cognitivism) is Cartesian in the sense that it takes as fundamental the distinction between the mind and the world. This leads to the claim that cognition is representational and best explained by classical AI and computational theory. The authors in this volume develop a critique of cognitivism and introduce an alternative approach - which owes more to evolutionary biology, embodied robotics, phenomenology and dynamical systems.…

Paperback octavo, very good plus condition. 202 pp. Can a machine really have feelings? Well, even a humble thermostat knows when it gets too hot -- and can do something about it. But can a machine think? Does it have a personality How would you know?

Paperback octavo, very good plus condition. 166 pp. How does the conscious mind relate to the physical body? Two common views from the past offered the stark choice between dualism in which mind and body were quite separate, and physicalism in which the mind was in fact nothing but the physical brain. Both these views are now widely rejected. Emergence theory offers a compromise: the mind emerges from the physical body but the whole person, mind and body, is more than the sum of the physical parts. Philosopher Robert Van Gulick gives a clear and masterly overview and comparison of the current emergent and reductive approaches. The editor's own chapter argues for the radical proposal that even God is an emergent property.…

Paperback octavo, very good plus condition. 298 pp. The much-debated 'hard problems' in the emerging field of consciousness studies revolve around the difficulty in reconciling our first-person 'folk psychology' account of ourselves with our scientific understanding of the world. Despite the occasional dissident voice (for instance Anthony Freeman), most people are agreed that we all 'know' that we have some degree of volitional control over the sort of experiences that we undergo. But when we try to reconcile this with our physics-based & biology-based understanding of the world, we run into a number of serious well-documented problems.…

Paperback octavo, very good plus condition. 262 pp. Emotion experience has failed to date to gain a central place in the study of consciousness. This special issue of the Journal of Consciousness Studies presents the most recent views on the matter, with discussions of several aspects of emotion experience. Contributors from different disciplines address links between feelings, brain, body and world. What happens in the brain and in the body when we have feelings - How do feelings relate to our understanding of the world. The contributors also analyse emotion experience per se, the character of moods, the role of emotion experience in demarcating the class of emotion, the alleged positive and negative character of affect, its embodied feel, and its relation to action.…
