Each mental state -- each hope, fear, thought -- can be identified with a particular physical state of the brain, without remainder. So argues Nicholas Humphrey in this highly readable yet scholarly essay. He offers strong support for his identity theory from evolution. His controversial claim is discussed and challenged in commentaries by authors such as Andy Clark (\u003cem\u003eBeing There\u003c\/em\u003e, 1997), Daniel Dennett (\u003cem\u003eConsciousness Explained\u003c\/em\u003e, 1991; \u003cem\u003eDarwin's Dangerous Idea\u003c\/em\u003e, 1995) and Ralph Ellis (\u003cem\u003eQuestioning Consciousness\u003c\/em\u003e, 1995). Humphrey rounds off the book with a response to his critics. An excellent short introduction to the mind-body problem and the study of consciousness.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53509823856913,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780907845089.jpg?v=1778168169","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/books-how-to-solve-the-mind-body-problem-by-nicholas-humphrey","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
