Description

This is the one and only book by the pioneer of the identity theory of mind. The collection focuses on Place's philosophy of mind and his contributions to neighboring issues in metaphysics and epistemology. It includes an autobiographical essay as well as a recent paper on the function and neural location of consciousness.

Reviews

"These selected papers of the late U.T. Place contain much of interest...The book should remove the impression that some may have that Place only write one philosophical paper of any importance. There is plenty of interesting material." --Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews
