An introduction to the mind-body problem, covering all the proposed solutions and offering a powerful new one.

Philosophers from Descartes to Kripke have struggled with the glittering prize of modern and contemporary philosophy: the mind-body problem. The brain is physical. If the mind is physical, we cannot see how. If we cannot see how the mind is physical, we cannot see how it can interact with the body. And if the mind is not physical, it cannot interact with the body. Or so it seems.

In this book the philosopher Jonathan Westphal examines the mind-body problem in detail, laying out the reasoning behind the solutions that have been offered in the past and presenting his own proposal. The sharp focus on the mind-body problem, a problem that is not about the self, or consciousness, or the soul, or anything other than the mind and the body, helps clarify both problem and solutions.

Westphal outlines the history of the mind-body problem, beginning with Descartes. He describes mind-body dualism, which claims that the mind and the body are two different and separate things, nonphysical and physical, and he also examines physicalist theories of mind; antimaterialism, which proposes limits to physicalism and introduces the idea of qualia; and scientific theories of consciousness.

Finally, Westphal examines the largely forgotten neutral monist theories of mind and body, held by Ernst Mach, William James, and Bertrand Russell, which attempt neither to extract mind from matter nor to dissolve matter into mind. Westphal proposes his own version of neutral monism. This version is unique among neutral monist theories in offering an account of mind-body interaction.

Impressive Sound Deadening Solution with Enhanced Audio Quality
Model: NewSLS50_52
I recently purchased the Siless 50 mil (1.3mm) 52 sqft Car Sound Deadening mat, and I am delighted with the results it has delivered. Right from the start, I was impressed with the packaging, which ensured the product arrived in perfect condition. One of the standout features of this sound deadening mat is its ease of use. It was a breeze to cut and modify according to my specific needs. Whether I needed to cover specific areas or customize the size, the mat accommodated my requirements effortlessly. This flexibility made the installation process a breeze. The Siless Sound Deadening mat has proven to be highly effective in reducing outside noise within my vehicle. With just a half cabin install, I noticed a significant reduction of approximately 10 decibels, making my driving experience much quieter and more comfortable. The mat acted as a reliable barrier against external noise, allowing me to enjoy a more peaceful ride. Furthermore, the sound quality from my vehicle's audio system experienced a noticeable improvement. The Siless mat effectively dampened vibrations and minimized resonance, resulting in cleaner and more refined audio output. The mat's thickness of 50 mil (1.3mm) ensures optimal sound absorption, contributing to its effectiveness in creating a quieter and more enjoyable driving environment. I can now appreciate the full range of tones and enjoy a more immersive music experience during my drives. Overall, I highly recommend the Siless 50 mil Car Sound Deadening mat for anyone seeking a reliable and effective solution to reduce noise and enhance audio quality in their vehicle. The easy cutting and modifying process, along with the excellent packaging, contribute to a seamless installation experience. With a significant reduction in outside noise and an improvement in sound system performance, this sound deadening mat has exceeded my expectations.

Good quality sound deadener at a good price.
Model: NewSLS50_52
Quality sound deadening that adheres to body panels well. You can easily hear the vibration reduction after just the first piece by tapping on the body panel before and after.

BUY THIS ONE!
Model: NewSLS50_52
This is one of the good ones. There are other brands just as good, and manny brands are worse, but this handles well, rolls down easily, doesn't come off at all easily, and adapts to dips and curves like a champ. Appropriately heavy and dead, I'm happy with the way it smothers panel resonances and even at muffling direct sound, like a big hand over my Uncle Harry's eternally noisy mouth. You can rip the foil but you have to work hard at doing that. Remember to buy a brayer; you can roll overlaps nice and thin. Also remember to pre-wipe the sheet metal with a decent solvent like acetone or Stoddard/Varsol. It should last forever.
