The Body of a Person Paperback / softback
by Virgil C. Aldrich
Paperback / softback
- Information
Description
This book presents the thesis that appearances should not be viewed simply as functions of a prevailing conceptual system.
In addition to making a valuable contribution to the study of the mind/body problem, distinguished between first and second-order extensions, the book provides an excellent evaluation of the philosophy of physicalism and develops an exceptionally sound theory of personhood.
The author's conclusion, that "language makes man in his own image," mirrors Heidegger's assertation that "language is the house of being." Philosophers and students of philosophy, particularly those interested in the phenomenon of embodiment, will find this book fascinating reading.
Contents: Description and Expression: Physicalism Restricted; The Place of a Representation; The Body of a Person; Epilogue; Appendices.
