Ted Honderich's (still quite long) summary of a deterministic philosophy of mind, and its consequences for our fundamental attitudes.
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~uctytho/ted12.htm

Extractions: FREE WILL, DETERMINISM AND MORAL RESPONSIBILITY THE WHOLE THING IN BRIEF by Ted Honderich the Determinism and Freedom Philosophy Website This sums up a lot of T.H.'s past words elsewhere in A Theory of Determinism: The Mind, Neuroscience and Life-Hopes and also the first edition of How Free Are You? It is against the idea that determinism is logically consistent with free will and moral responsibility, and also against the idea, as turns out to be possible to be, that these things are logically inconsistent. It gives a background to " Determinism: Compatibilism, Incompatibilism, and the Smart Aleck " and the more recent " Determinism as True, Compatibilism and Incompatibilism as Both False, and the Real Problem ". Truth to tell, though, it has been a little overtaken by further thoughts most of them in the second edition of How Free Are You? This paper is a sketch of a deterministic philosophy of mind and then of its consequences for the fundamental part of our moral lives which has to do with moral responsibility. (1) In its first part, to be a little more precise, this somewhat unfashionable theory presents our human actions as effects of certain causal sequences. In these there occur the antecedents of the actions decisions and intentions and also the neural events which go with them all of which antecedent events are themselves effects of yet earlier parts of the causal sequence. Some of these yet earlier parts are environmental, and others are bodily events in the life of the individual.

Dictionary Of Philosophy Of Mind - Sellars, Wilfrid
Entry from the Dictionary of philosophy of mind.
http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~philos/MindDict/sellars.html

Extractions: Sellars, Wilfrid - Wilfrid Sellars was born in 1912. He held positions at the University of Iowa, the University of Minnesota, Yale University, and finally, from 1963 until his death in 1989, at the University of Pittsburgh. Sellars is best known as a critic of foundationalist epistemology. He was one of the first functionalists and one of the first to hold that intentional states are theoretical entities postulated for the sake of a certain kind of explanation and prediction of behavior. Myth of the Given Functionalism Myth of Jones Consciousness and the Metaphysics of Pure Process ... References Wilfrid Sellars was born in 1912. His father was the well-known naturalist philosopher Roy Wood Sellars, who taught at the University of Michigan. Wilfrid Sellars received a BA from the University of Michigan in 1933 and an MA from the University of Buffalo in 1934. He went to Oxford as a Rhodes scholar and received a BA there in 1936 and an MA in 1940. In 1938 he was appointed Assistant Professor at the University of Iowa. During the war years he saw active duty as an officer in the U.S. Naval Reserve. In 1946 he joined the faculty of the University of Minnesota. He remained on the Minnesota faculty until 1959, when he joined the faculty of Yale. In 1963 he moved to the University of Pittsburgh, where he remained until his death in 1989. Sellars is best known as a critic of foundationalist epistemology. He also made wide ranging contributions to metaphysics, the philosophy of mind, the philosophy of language and the study of the history of philosophy. This article will deal exclusively with those of his ideas that bear directly on current issues in the philosophy of mind.
Dictionary Of Philosophy Of Mind - Physicalism, Non-reductive
Entry in Dictionary of philosophy of mind
http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~philos/MindDict/nonreductivephysicalism.html

Extractions: physicalism, non-reductive The claim that functional properties cannot be reduced to physical properties, but that nevertheless all causality is physical. See physicalism multiple realizability functionalism Kim Against Non-reductive Physicalism ... References Kim Against Non-reductive Physicalism Jaegwon Kim sees Donald Davidson's theory of anomalous monism to be a kind of non-reductive physicalism, as well as Fred Dretske's distinction between reasons and causes. Kim claims that one can be either a physicalist, or non-reductive, but not both. In Kim 1993 (p. 351-2), he describes the problem using the following diagram. M causes M* P causes P* In this diagram, a single mental event M is seen as causing another mental event M* . This mental event is physically realized (for example in a brain state) by a physical event P , which causes P* i.e. the physical realization of M* . Kim's argument against the existence of mental causation is that the top layer does no real work. P can cause P* all by itself, with no help from M , and there is no coherent way in which M can cause M* without P 's help, or without causing

Dictionary Of Philosophy Of Mind - Quantum Consciousness
Entry in Dictionary of philosophy of mind
http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~philos/MindDict/quantum.html

Extractions: quantum consciousness, theories of Theories which explore possible connections between quantum mechanical phenomena and consciousness. See also consciousness Introduction Penrose's Main Argument Motivations for Quantum Theories ... References Introduction Since the publication of Roger Penrose's two books The Emperor's New Mind (1989), and Shadows of the Mind (1994), there has been a tremendous resurgence of interest in exploring possible connections between quantum mechanical phenomena and consciousness. But there have been those who have been exploring the connection for many decades. In this essay, I will first briefly run through Penrose's main ideas, especially as they have been developed in collaboration with Stuart Hameroff. I will then discuss some of the reasons that people have had for trying to defend some such connection since long before the Penrose-led resurgence. Penrose's main argument Penrose's main argumentative line can be summed up as follows (this summary is taken from Grush and Churchland (1995)): Part A: Nonalgorithmicity of human conscious thought.
Dictionary Of Philosophy Of Mind - Grice, Herbert Paul
From the Dictionary in the philosophy of mind, by Christopher Gauker.
http://www.artsci.wustl.edu/~philos/MindDict/grice.html

Extractions: Grice, Herbert Paul Grice was born in 1913 and died in 1988. He held positions at Oxford University and, after 1967, at the University of California, Berkeley. Grice is best known for his work in the philosophy of language, in particular, his analysis of speaker's meaning, his conception of conversational implicature, and his project of intention-based semantics. Analysis of Meanings Conversational Implicature Intention-Based Semantics Shift from Language to Mind ... References Herbert Paul Grice was born in 1913 and died in 1988. From the late 1930's until 1967 he held positions at Oxford University. During the war years he served in the Royal Navy. In 1967 he moved to the University of California, Berkeley. He retired in 1979 but continued to teach until 1986. Grice is best known for his analysis of speaker's meaning, his conception of conversational implicature, and his project of intention-based semantics. Largely as a result of these ideas, the focus of the philosophical debate over the nature of meaning shifted during the 1970's and 1980's from linguistic representation to mental representation. Grice's most important ideas may be found in his William James lectures presented at Harvard in 1967. Several lectures from that series were published in the form of journal articles, and for many years the lectures circulated in their entirety in mimeograph. They were finally published (in revised form) in 1989 in Grice's collection of essays

Extractions: The Play of Mind: Software on the History of Ideas This site is for anyone interested in philosophy or the history of ideas. You can download any of ten interactive offered, ranging from easy to challenging. The programs are free and can be run in any Windows system - from 95 to XP. The Forbears programs are basic and relatively effortless introductions to the history of ideas. You are shown what some great thinkers have said on a variety of issues under the general topic (philosophy, ethics, politics or America). You are also asked to choose those quotes you most agree with and in return the program analyzes your choices and displays a graph of your "philosophical proclivities." Download Forbears Programs The Bull Session programs are computerized meetings or clashings of mind yours included. The final product will be a dialogue where you are discussing several difficult questions with thinkers from around the world and throughout time. Because you have to actually write your responses, the four programs here (on art, religion, law and humanity) are more demanding than the Forbears programs. Download Bull Session Programs The two Tree Owls programs (one on European philosophers, the other on American) are challenging introductions to the history of ideas. You are shown some of the most pivotal and provocative ideas of some of the most important thinkers. You are also asked to indicate to what extent you agree with them, and graphs will be periodically displayed based on your responses.

Extractions: For further contact e-mail Introduction Mind is the expression of the brain and the body separately or in a combined state.All the extraordinary faculties of the human beings are projected through the mind.It is the mind which has been responsible for all the great developments in the civilisations as we see it today. Mind is a formless state.It cannot be brought on record or measured by any of the modern instruments.Fundamentally mind is concerned with the thinking and it's applications.The inputs of the mind are partly dependent on the information / learning from the society itself,but a reasonable part comes from practically the blue as a godgift to certain chosen persons eg.the great masterpiece works of art,literature and scientific inventions. The mind is the motivation of a human being,his steam,his drive,his ambition and his ultimate destiny often.Wonderful faculty that the mind is, has been perplexing since ages as all the scientific advances have failed to analyse the parameters governing the mind.

TRINITARIAN PHILOSOPHY OF HISTORY, Trinitism, Philosophy
Explains the Trinitarian philosophy of history, which is based on the proposition that each individual is a balancing trinity of spiritmind-body.
http://hometown.aol.com/trinitine/esay3.htm

Extractions: Main Personal Interests My Favorite Places htmlAdWH('7008051', '234', '60'); Basis of the Trinitarian philosophy of history? It is based on the premise that individual man is a balancing trinity of spirit-mind-body. These function thru his spiritual-rational-sensual minds that determine his spiritual-rational-sensual values. He is born to be dominant in one of these balancing values, but has free will to live by any one of them. As the mind can be on only one thing, his changing minds and values are the basis for changes in his life. In principle, the collective extension of the individual's history is that of the nation and civilization. Basis of man's free will: Man is born to have conflict between his spiritual mind and values that say "No" to sensual change and his sensual mind and values that say "Yes" to sensual change. His rational mind says "Maybe" before judging to support one side or the other. It determines how the person will go. Thus, within limits of his dominant being, man has a rational, free-willed self-control of his value-changes. These principles of the individual apply to his civilization. This is evident in Western Civilization with its dominantly spiritual Medieval Age of theology, the rational Renaissance Age of philosophy, and the sensual Modern Age of science. Extending from this free-willed trinity of spiritual-rational-sensual ages there may be a non-free-willed, emotive Age of No-values.
