This kind of general sentimentalism about the mind goes beyond that advocated by Hume, and the book's main arguments are only partially anticipated in German Romanticism and in the Chinese philosophical tendency to avoid rigid distinctions between thought and emotion. The new sentimentalist philosophy of mind Slote proposes can solve important problems about the nature of belief and action that other approaches -- including Pragmatism -- fail to address. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn arguing for the centrality of emotion within philosophy of the mind, \u003cem\u003eA Sentimentalist Theory of the Mind \u003c\/em\u003econtinues the critique of rationalist philosophical views that began with Slote's \u003cem\u003eMoral Sentimentalism\u003c\/em\u003e (OUP, 2010) and continued in his \u003cem\u003eFrom Enlightenment to Receptivity \u003c\/em\u003e(OUP, 2013). This new book also delves into what is distinctive about human minds, arguing that there is a greater variety to ordinary human motives than has been recognized and that emotions play a central role in this complex psychology.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47890694504599,"sku":"9780199371754","price":7466.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780199371754.webp?v=1781180959","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/a-sentimentalist-theory-of-the-mind-9780199371754","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
