Giving a Damn: Essays in Dialogue with John Haugeland by Zed Adams, Jacob Browning
Requirements: .ePUB, .MOBI/.AZW reader, 1.4MB
Overview: A collection of essays that use John Haugeland’s work on intentionality, embodiment, objectivity, and caring to explore contemporary issues in philosophy of mind.
In his work, the philosopher John Haugeland (1945–2010) proposed a radical expansion of philosophy’s conceptual toolkit, calling for a wider range of resources for understanding the mind, the world, and how they relate. Haugeland argued that “giving a damn” is essential for having a mind—suggesting that traditional approaches to cognitive science mistakenly overlook the relevance of caring to the understanding of mindedness. Haugeland’s determination to expand philosophy’s array of concepts led him to write on a wide variety of subjects that may seem unrelated—from topics in cognitive science and philosophy of mind to examinations of such figures as Martin Heidegger and Thomas Kuhn. Haugeland’s two books with the MIT Press, Artificial Intelligence and Mind Design, show the range of his interests.
