Keith Campbell – författare

Widely used in philosophy courses, this succinct study explores the problem of determining the relation between the body and mind. In that philosophy seeks to elucidate man's place and action in nature, Campbell asserts that our assessment of the body-mind problem affects our perspectives on metaphysics, epistemology, ethics, and the natural sciences.After discussing how the body-mind problem developed, Campbell sets forth four incompatible propositions that serve as the framework for evaluating different philosophical approaches to the problem. Among competing perspectives, he examines dualism, behaviorist theories, the causal theory of mind, and central-state epiphenomenalism. This second edition includes a chapter on functionalism and an expanded bibliography.

D. M. Armstrong is an eminent Australian philosopher whose work over many years has dealt with such subjects as: the nature of possibility, concepts of the particular and the general, causes and laws of nature, and the nature of human consciousness. This collection of essays explores the many facets of Armstrong's work, concentrating on his more recent interests. There are four sections to the book: possibility and identity, universals, laws and causality, and philosophy of mind. The contributors comprise an international group of philosophers from the United States, England and Australia. An interesting feature of the volume is that Armstrong himself has written responses to each of the essays. There is also a complete bibliography of Armstrong's writings.

«Narcisismo» es una de las palabras que caracterizan nuestro tiempo. Mencionada contínuamente en los medios de comunicación, es el tema de millones de consultas online y el centro de debates políticos. Pero, ¿qué significa realmente este término?Uno de los más aclamados especialistas en la cuestión desgrana el concepto, por lo general mal utilizado, y profundiza en las investigaciones psicológicas y sociológicas más recientes sobre el fenómeno.En lugar de patologizar los comportamientos asociados, Keith Campbell no solo nos revela que el narcisismo se produce en un amplio espectro de contextos, sino que casi todo el mundo muestra tendencias narcisistas en su comportamiento. Basándose en casos reales, Narcisismo contiene herramientas y sugerencias para pulir comportamientos tóxicamente egoístas tanto hacia los demás como en uno mismo. Asimismo, Campbell examina las tendencias actuales que exacerban los comportamientos narcisistas, como la adicción a las redes sociales.
