Mental Causation and Ontology

E. J. Lowe, S. C. Gibb, Sophie C. Gibb, R. D. Ingthorsson — 2013

This book demonstrates the importance of ontology for a central debate in philosophy of mind. Mental causation seems an obvious aspect of the world. But it is hard to understand how it can happen unless we get clear about what the entities involved in the process are. An international team of contributors presents new work on this problem.
