书名: The Life of the Mind: An Essay on Phenomenological Externalism
作者: Gregory McCulloch (Author)
出版社: Routledge; 1 edition (December 20, 2002)

ISBN-13: 978-0415266239
Book Description
The Life of the Mind presents an original and striking conception of the mind and its place in nature. In a spirited and rigorous attack on most of the orthodox positions in contemporary philosophy of mind, McCulloch connects three of the orthodoxy's central themes-- externalism, phenomenology and the relation between science and commonsense psychology in a defense of a thoroughly anti-Cartesian conception of mental life.
McCulloch argues that the life of the mind will never be understood until we properly understand the subject's essential embodiment and immersion in the world, until we give up the idea that an understanding of the mind must be "scientific," and until we give up the idea that intentionality and phenomenology must be understood separately.
Review
"Writing with his characteristic flair, precision and clarity, [McCulloch] seeks to understand how the mind can be intentionally directed towards the world...The fruit of twenty years thinking, The Life of the Mind is a significant and exciting contribution to philosophy and a poignant reminder of McCullochs importance to the discipline." -- Komarine Romdenh-Romluc, Mind
