The Roots of Representationism

Viac o knihe

Focusing on the contributions of Everett W. Hall to epistemology, this volume examines his representationism theory, which posits that mental content is derived from publicly observable properties rather than private sense-data. Walter Horn compiles extensive excerpts from Hall's writings alongside his own insights, highlighting Hall's unique approach that merges linguistic idealism with common-sense realism. The book also features previously unpublished correspondence and essays from notable philosophers, making it a vital resource for those studying 20th Century analytic philosophy.
