Dueling with Dualism the forlorn quest for the immaterial mind

ByMichael Spenard

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
Dueling with Dualism takes up the commonplace understanding of man’s mind as having a distinct mode of existence outside of physical space and corporeal bodies: the infamous notion of “mind-body duality.” In this brisk and lucid work Spenard lays forth a historical account and cumulative critique against the intuitive conception of the mind, as separate from the brain, by bearing out fully the consequences and implications of this notion. In challenging the reader from the opening—“What is it that your name names?”—Dueling with Dualism gives to the reader what all philosophy should: a renewed interest in how we conceive of ourselves by looking to the ideas of past, reconciling them with the present and pointing to a future “conceptual topography.”
