Synopsis
Contemporary Materialism presents an important collection of recent work on materialism in connection with metaphysics, philosophy of language, philosophy of mind and theories of value. This anthology charts the contemporary problems, positions and themes on the topic of materialism. It illuminates materialism's complex intersection with related subjects such as cognition and psychology. By gathering a wide-range of philosophical interventions around the subject of materialism, this anthology provides a valuable discussion of how materialism can effectively serve the purposes of philosophical assessment. To further assist the reader, it also contains an extensive bibliography on contemporary materialism.
Booknews
Moser & Trout (both philosophy, Loyola U.-Chicago) have assembled the writings of 16 writers (Boyd, Crane, Kim, Davidson...) on the modern philosophy also called physicalism. While Routledge quotes paper & cloth prices of $22.95 and $65.00, the cataloging-in-publication data cites $18.95 and $59.95; we believe the law requires the publisher to honor those printed prices.
