Summary

Considering the principal questions of the philosophy of mind, this book's answers to them constitutes a new determinist philosophy of mind. It covers the relation between mental and neural events, how these events come about and the relation of these events to actions.

Mind and Brain Summary

Mind and Brain: A Theory of Determinism, Volume 1 by Ted Honderich (Grote Professor of the Philosophy of Mind and Logic, Grote Professor of the Philosophy of Mind and Logic, University College London)

The magnum opus of a distinguished philosopher Mind and Brain was originally published as the first two parts of a single-volume hardback edition. In it, Ted Honderich considers the exact nature of the relation between mental and neural events, how both sorts of events come about, and their relation to actions. The answers that Honderich gives constitute a new determinist philosophy of mind.

Mind and Brain Reviews

'The problem first of clarifying and then of answering the question how far human thoughts and actions are subject to causality and whether this is consistent with their being free is one to which many different approaches have been made throughout the history of philosophy. I doubt if any of them has been the product of such intense research as Professor Honderich has devoted to the construction, the defence and the evaluation of his theory of determinism ... I think that his readiness to accept even the most startling implications of his views, the patience he displays in examining alternatives to them, his assiduity in setting out and trying to meet a wide range of objections are all highly creditable.' A.J. Ayer, London Review of Books
'truly encyclopedic contribution to the controversy surrounding determinism ... his book is indispensable to anyone who is eager to become clear about the present power of determinism.' Ingmar Persson, Lund University, Theoria
