Subject, Thought and Context

Are mental states "in the head"? Or do they intrinsically involve aspects of the subject's physical and social context? This volume presents a number of essays dealing with the compass of the mind. The contributors broach a range of issues with a commmon view that physical and social magnets do act upon mental states. The approaches that run through these papers make the volume challenging to cognitive psychologists, theorists of artificial intelligence, social theorists, and philosophers.Pettit, Philip is the author of 'Subject, Thought and Context', published 1986 under ISBN 9780198247364 and ISBN 0198247362.
