It is perhaps the most influential book in the field of the second half of the twentieth century. In this volume a distinguished international team of philosophers examine what we still owe to Armstrong's theory, and how to expand it, as well as looking back on how it came about. The first four chapters are historical in orientation, exploring how the book fits into the history of materialism in the twentieth century. The chapters that follow discuss perception, belief, the supposed explanatory gap between the physical and the mental, introspection, conation, causality, and functionalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Anstey, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Philosophy, The University of Sydney\u003c\/em\u003e, David Braddon-Mitchell, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Philosophy, The University of Sydney\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePeter Anstey studied Philosophy at the University of Sydney.
