All the Power in the World de Peter Unger

All the Power in the World

Autor Peter Unger
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 28 noi 2007
In this book, Unger attacks the commonly held idea that some qualities exist apart from the physical world and are more a matter of our perception, such as colours. Instead Unger argues that these qualities should be reconsidered as fundamentally physical. He then uses this idea to reengage the basic issues of metaphysics.

Recenzii

Unger has always been a very original and independent philosopher, never swayed excessively by fashion. One of the two main themes of All the Power in the World is a defense of the dualist view that mental substances or individuals are wholly non-physical, and have the power to make things happen in the physical world. For example, we have the power to act freely, and the evident exercise of this power is incompatible with physicalism.... This argument is familiar, of course, though Unger's own version of it is characteristically inventive. Less familiar are Unger's ingenious arguments for dualism later in the book, based on 'the problem of the many' for which Unger is well known.... In a fascinating discussion... Unger draws the conclusion that he is not a physical thing: dualism is true and physicalism is false.
All the Power in the World brims with imaginative and engaging ideas on matters of basic metaphysics.... it is worth the careful attention of all with a taste for grand metaphysics.
Every page of All the Power in the World will provide seasoned philosophers, particularly those working in metaphysics and the philosophy of mind, with much to think about. To the extent that Unger set out to write a book that is supremely thought provoking, he has succeeded in spades.
