Body, Mind and Self in Hume's Critical Realism

Fred Wilson

4.9/5 (9765 ratings)

Description:This essay proposes that Hume`s non-substantialist bundle account of minds is basically correct. The concept of a person is not a metaphysical notion but a forensic one, that of a being who enters into the moral and normative relations of civil society. A person is a bundle but it is also a structured bundle. Hume`s metaphysics of relations is argued must be replaced by a more adequate one such as that of Russell, but beyond that Hume`s account is essentially correct. In particular it is argued that it is one`s character that constitutes one`s identity and that sympathy and the passions of pride and humility are central in forming and maintaining one`s character and one`s identity as a person. But also central is one`s a person is an embodied the notion that one`s body is essential to one`s identity is defended at length. Various concepts of mind and consciousness are examined - for example, neutral monism and intentionality - and also the concept of privacy and our inferences to other minds.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
