Philosophy of Mind : Contemporary Perspectives

The human mind is one of the most extraordinary mysteries of the contemporary sciences and philosophy.

We know for sure that we have one, and that we have feelings and conscious experience.

But why is that? This anthology addresses contemporary issues in the field of study that is the philosophy of mind.

It is divided into five main parts: i) the concept of Self in the contemporary philosophy of mind; ii) sensory experience: odors, vision and colors; iii) Artificial Intelligence: the future, the ethics and the costs; iv) the relationship between neuroscience and philosophy; and, finally, v) the influences and history of the philosophy of mind.

This book will be useful for specialists of the field, but also for others who are interested in some of the more updated sciences of the mind.
