Thought: A Very Short Introduction By Tim Bayne (Paperback, 2013)
There is no denying that thinking comes naturally to human beings But what are thoughts? How is thought realized in the brain? Does thinking occur in public or is it a purely private affair? Do young children and non-human animals think? Is human thought the same everywhere or are there culturally specific modes of thought? What is the relationship between thought and language? What kind of responsibility do we have for our thoughts? In this compelling Very Short Introduction Tim Bayne looks at the nature of thought Beginning with questions about what thought is and what distinguishes it from other kinds of mental states he goes on to examine various interpretations of thought from philosophy psychology neuroscience and anthropology By exploring the logical structures of thought and the
