The Resource Persons and their minds : a philosophical investigation, Elmer Sprague

Persons and their minds : a philosophical investigation, Elmer Sprague

Creator
Summary
Persons and Their Minds compares the conflicting claims of mindism and personism and argues for placing persons at the center of philosophy of mind. Mindism stems from Descartes, takes the spectator stance, and makes the mind the subject of mental verbs such as "know," "think," and "believe." Personism stems from Wittgenstein and Ryle, takes the agent stance, and restores persons to their proper place as subjects of mental verbs
