The book aims to bring together these three themes - the world, the flesh and the subject - to resolve many of the puzzles that beset contemporary philosophy of mind.

This work brings contemporary continental thought into conversation with analytic philosophy on the principal topics of philosophy of mind.

The authors consider three themes -- the world, the flesh, and the subject -- to resolve the puzzles that beset contemporary philosophy of mind. They provide a coherent approach, which draws upon phenomenology, hermeneutics, psychoanalysis, and poststructuralism. Their work also relates recent feminist work on the body to traditional concerns with the mind. Other topics discussed include the problem of consciousness, perception and sensation, imagination, desire, emotion, reason, and agency, and the self and others.
