Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Parallelism of Mind and Body From the Standpoint of Metaphysics: A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculties of the Graduate Schools of Arts, Literature, and Science, in Candidacy for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of Philosophy It must be granted, then, that metaphysical parallelism has a good deal in its favor. But because it does involve ultimate questions so nearly, its metaphysical bearings cannot be simply thrust to one side and neglected, as if they did not matter. As I have said already, parallelism in its strictly theoretical form is not a doctrine irresistibly demanded by psychological facts rather there are a multitude of facts which apparently point to a mutual influence between mind and body. Indeed, the theory is generally recognized as a paradox; and if it is taken as anything more than a working hypothesis, then the plea is not admissible that, as a scientist, the investigator is not bound to consider the philosophical bearings of his doctrines, particularly as he usually manages to imply a pretty definite philosophical creed. It is hardly fair for the scientist to force us to follow him, under pain of being judged incompetent to appreciate self-evident truths, into regions where contradictions surround us on every side, and then to abandon us there with a few words about ultimate identity. And twofold aspects of reality, which, as we may guess, he leaves so general simply because he is unable himself to think out what they mean. As involving a metaphysical position already, which, more over, in the most violent way splits up the universe into two seem ingly independent halves, a theory of parallelism can be considered as at all successfully established only when the possibility has been shown that it can be adjusted to some tolerably consistent world view.

This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This little book is not a text-book of psychology. It is exclusively concerned with one particular psychological problem, a problem, however, that stands at the very centre of psychology. The relations between mind and body are analysed; that is to say, the following three psychedelic problems are successively raised: What is the mind? What is the body? What are the relations between mind and body? But it is only the third problem which is extensively dealt with; the first two are only briefly defined.
Download or read book Spinoza s Metaphysics written by Yitzhak Y. Melamed and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-03 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a new and radical interpretation of the core of Spinoza's metaphysics. The first half of the book, which concentrates on the metaphysics of substance, suggests a new reading of Spinoza's key concepts of Substance and Mode, of Spinoza's pantheism and monism, and of his understanding of causation. The second half addresses Spinoza's metaphysics of Thought and presents three bold and interrelated theses on Spinoza's two doctrines of parallelism, on the multifaceted structure of ideas, and on Spinoza's reasons for holding that we cannot know any attributes of God, or Nature, other than Thought and Extension. Finally, the author shows that Spinoza assigns clear priority to the attribute of Thought without embracing reductive idealism.

Book excerpt: "The reader will find in this book (1) a sketch of an explanation of the connection of mind and body; (2) a proposal, based thereon, for a settlement of the controversy between the parallelists and the interactionists. (1) The explanation of the connection of mind and body is not in substance new. It is that which is implied in the panpsychism of Fechner and Clifford. Brief expositions of it have been given by Paulsen in his Einleitung in die Philosophie--indeed, to Paulsen I owe my first acquaintance with it--and, more recently, by Stout in the chapter "Body and Mind" of his manual. What specially characterizes my treatment of the matter is the detailed working-out of the conception in terms of the hypothesis of mental causality. I have also set forth somewhat elaborately the scientific and metaphysical premises on which it rests. (2) A further merit of the explanation is that it enables us to settle the controversy between the interactionists and the parallelists in a way satisfactory to both parties. Parallelism is commonly supposed to deny the efficiency of mind; and this is felt to be the great objection to it. The proposition that, so far from denying efficiency, parallelism involves and implies it, may even seem to the reader a contradiction in terms. Yet this is a proposition which the panpsychist theory permits us to justify. In his article "Are we automata?" in Mind for 1879 (vol. iv., pp. 1-22), Professor James made the prediction that, if the 'automaton theory' should ever prove to be the truth, it would be in a translated form in which our common-sense belief in the efficiency of mind would be recognized as essentially accurate. In Dr. Stout's theory and mine this prophecy finds its fulfillment"--Preface. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2008 APA, all rights reserved).

Book excerpt: "This book is an essay in the speculative treatment of certain problems, suggested but not usually discussed in the course of a thorough empirical study of mental phenomena. Inasmuch as these problems all relate to the real nature and actual performances and relations of the human mind, the essay may properly be called metaphysical. Let it be confessed, then, that the author comes forward with a treatise in metaphysics--in the more special meaning of that term. I think, however, that in spite of the marked disfavor into which all metaphysics has fallen in certain quarters, no detailed apology for asking readers for such a treatise need be offered in its Preface. Indeed, the first two chapters of the book are occupied in showing how inevitable is the demand which the science of psychology makes for a further philosophical discussion of all its principal problems. The nature of psychology, however, and the nature of philosophy, and especially the nature of the relations existing between the two, are such as to make it undesirable, if not impossible, to consider in one book all the metaphysical problems which this empirical science suggests. ... Indeed, the whole sphere of philosophical study scarcely does more than this. A somewhat but not wholly arbitrary selection of problems had, therefore, to be made; and their detailed discussion was then brought under the one title, "Philosophy of Mind." The reasons for the selection are made sufficiently clear in the course of the discussion itself"--Preface.

Book III METAPHYSICAL PRINCIPLES CHAPTER VIII THE PHYSICAL WORLD Our empirical inquiry has been somewhat barren of result. Even the causal issue we have not been able to decide except hypothetically. Much less has any light been thrown upon the deeper question, why mind and body are associated at all. Indeed, this question now appears quite beyond the reach of empirical methods of investigation, while as regards the causal issue we have employed those methods in vain. Under these circumstances, the time seems to have arrived for the metaphysical inquiry announced at the beginning. Hitherto we have been operating with counters whose exact value was left undetermined: we have discussed the relation of mind and matter without knowing exactly what mind and matter are. We must now turn critically upon the conceptions that have answered our purpose thus far, and seek to make them adequate. It may be that an exact knowledge of what mind and matter are will help us to understand their relation. It is impossible not to recognize that certain metaphysical theories have a direct bearing on the problem. Thus most philosophers maintain that material objects have no existence apart from the mind. But, if the body exists only as a modification of the mind, the question of causal relations between them appears in a new light. Again, assuming that material objects exist as modifications of the mind, philosophers differ as to whether these modifications stand for realities outside. But, if they do, there must be such a reality corresponding to the body; and the problem passes into a fresh phase. Finally, in the issue between the three theories, everything depends on whether the mind itself is real and active. The capital defect of most discussions of the...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely used in philosophy courses, this succinct study explores the problem of determining the relation between the body and mind. In that philosophy seeks to elucidate man’s place and action in nature, Campbell asserts that our assessment of the body-mind problem affects our perspectives on metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and the natural sciences. After discussing how the body-mind problem developed, Campbell sets forth four incompatible propositions that serve as the framework for evaluating different philosophical approaches to the problem. Among competing perspectives, he examines dualism, behaviorist theories, the causal theory of mind, and central-state epiphenomenalism. This second edition includes a chapter on functionalism and an expanded bibliography.
