CHAPTER 2: Shifting Understandings of the Mind.
Abstract
The article examines the evolution of understanding the mind, beginning with Cartesian dualism and transitioning to various twentieth-century theories, including behaviorism, identity theory, and functionalism. It highlights the shift from an internal, dualistic view of the mind to an emphasis on observable behaviors and the functional roles of mental states in contemporary philosophical discourse.
