Consciousness and Meaning (ePub)

Brian Loar (1939-2014) was a leading philosopher of mind and language. Known as a subtle and elegant thinker, Loar developed a novel solution to the mind-body problem, contributed an influential account of phenomenal states and of phenomenal concepts, and presented what is perhaps the most fully articulated functionalist account of propositional attitudes in Mind and Meaning. Loar received his D.Phil. from Oxford University and taught at the University of
Michigan, the University of Southern California, and Rutgers University until he retired in 2009.

Katalin Balog received her Ph.D. at Rutgers University in 1998. She taught philosophy at Cornell University, and then Yale University between 1998 and 2010. In 2010 she moved to Rutgers University, Newark, where she is still teaching. Her primary areas of research are the philosophy of mind and metaphysics. The problems that interest her most, the nature of consciousness, the self, and free will, lie at their intersection. Her recent work centers on the relationship between our subjective,
internal understanding of the mind and the objective, scientific view of the world.
