Description:
Julia Tanney's Meaning, Mind, and Action challenges widely held presuppositions within philosophy in its classical 'analytic', 'naturalist', and 'cognitivist' forms. Beginning with canonical views in the philosophy of language and logic, the arguments are then applied to discussions of knowledge, action, causation, the nature of the mental, consciousness, and thinking.
Review Quotes:
"Julia Tanney has brought together fourteen of her essays, mostly written in the last decade. They display her usual lucidity and thoughtfulness, as well as her characteristic and admirable determination to swim against the current of the times. Her essays are both provocative and convincing, as well as enjoyable to read." -Peter Hacker, St John's College Oxford, UK.
