About the book

This advanced introductory text offers a synoptic view of philosophical inquiry, discussing such topics as consciousness, the self, meaning, free will, the a priori, and knowledge. The emphasis is on the fundamental intractability of these questions, and a theory is proposed as to why the human mind has so much difficulty in resolving them. This theory turns upon a naturalistic picture of the scope and limits of human intelligence.

McGinn investigates the boundaries and limits of human reason and intelligence, his inquiry encompasses the self, consciousness, the a priori, free will, knowledge and meaning.
