Description
Sergio Moravia's The Enigma of the Mind (originally published in Italian as L'enigma della mente) offers a broad, lucid, critical and historical survey of one of the fundamental debates in the philosophy of mind: the relationship of mind and body. The book has two central aims--to sketch the major recent contributions to the mind-body problem from philosophers of mind, and, once this framework is established, to articulate a particular interpretation of the mental and the mind-body problem.
Reviews"...his book should be of interest to scholars of Vico and to all partisans of humanistic thinking...provides a thorough critical and historical assessment of the mind-body problem...I like what I read in Moravia'a critical assessment of the current approaches to the mind-body problem." Marcel Danesi, New Vico Studies 14
