James W. Cornman argues that traditional forms of materialism face serious difficulties when confronted with the qualitative character of sensory states, and he meticulously details the strengths and weaknesses of competing materialist theories, including identity theory and eliminative materialism. Written with the precision and rigor characteristic of mid-twentieth-century analytic philosophy, the work instructs readers in the fine distinctions required to navigate debates about mind, body, and the nature of mental phenomena. Cornman ultimately illustrates why the relationship between physical processes and subjective experience remains one of philosophy's most challenging and enduring puzzles, making this an essential text for students and scholars of philosophy of mind and metaphysics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48839341768923,"sku":"2026770001879-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/91d477c5-2fb5-4c94-b5ea-4c893dac7250.png?v=1780560882","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026770001879-secondhand-materialism-and-sensations","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
