John Heil is Professor of Philosophy at Washington University in Saint Lous. His previous publications include The Universe as We Find It (2012) and From an Ontological Point of View (2003).
John Heil’s book is the very best of its kind and is a masterly achievement, managing to stay clear, accessible and engaging without sacrificing either intellectual rigor or philosophical depth. The new additions bring readers right up to date with the latest trends and ideas.
-E. J. Lowe, Durham University
Heil’s introduction encourages students to engage the philosophy of mind with the penetrating attitude of a true metaphysician. This third edition features new content, including the topic of panpsychism, which has enjoyed renewed interest from philosophers of mind. These new materials are presented with the same ontological seriousness and accessibility that has made previous editions so attractive. Anyone teaching the philosophy of mind using a previous edition of Heil’s text will find this latest edition a worthy update to their course.
-Joseph A. Baltimore, West Virginia University

受和朋友谈话的影响,以一天一章的速度看完了这本书。不算最后一章,因为估计还要学一下形而上学才能评价,而且那是作者自己的理论。下面是一些感想: • 有人说这本书读着稀里糊涂,翻译有误云云,其实我觉得并不影响理解。我几乎是扫着读的前几章,但也看懂了几乎每个论证...
评分看中文版看得稀里糊涂的,看英文版一点也不“卡碟”。不是译者水平不行,而是philosophy of mind是一个比较新的哲学课题。中国出版的比较少,引进的也不多。无法避免的会存在术语翻译不统一(事实上也未有协会去规范它),译者个人使用偏好等等的影响。 还是建议大家尽量读英文...

When first published, John Heil's introduction quickly became a widely used guide for students with little or no background in philosophy to central issues of philosophy of mind.a Heil provided an introduction free of formalisms, technical trappings, and specialized terminology.a He offered clear arguments and explanations, focusing on the ontological basis of mentality and its place in the material world.a The book concluded with a systematic discussion of questions the book raises--and a sketch of a unified metaphysics of mind--thus inviting scholarly attention while providing a book very well suited for an introductory course. This Third Edition builds on these strengths, and incorporates new material on theories of consciousness, computationalism, the language of thought, and animal minds as well as other emerging areas of research.a With an updated reading list at the end of each chapter and a revised bibliography, this new edition will again make it the indispensable primer for anyone seeking better understanding of the central metaphysical issues in philosophy of mind.a
相比于该书上一版Heil(2004)改动不大,作者主要是重写了consciousness一章,加入了对g.strawson版本Panpsychism的介绍,而其他地方的改动都只是简单的排序和删减。作者名言:if you can't explain something clearly without recourse to an esoteric vocabulary, you don't really understand it.
评分可算在年末看完了,作者的语言非常简明,理解为什么christos说Dennett的intentional stance让他世界观崩塌了,看那一章的时候感觉自己在看科幻小说,大自然是无意的吗?后背发凉

评分前两周才做了关于行为主义这一章的presentation。或许我们永远看不到black box的结构和其中发生的一切,但它对于心灵的意义绝不能因为它不可见而乃至被贬损。
评分本身的内容是很有趣的,但是作者的写作真是。。。简单的东西反复啰嗦地在全书各个地方重复,晦涩的理论却一两句一带而过糊里糊涂。有的内容很具有启发性,越读越意识到通过哲学手段去真正理解心灵,那是死路一条。
