Synopsis
Dualism argues that the mind is more than just the brain. It holds that there exists two very different realms, one mental and the other physical. Both are fundamental and one cannot be reduced to the other - there are minds and there is a physical world. This book examines and defends the most famous dualist account of the mind, the cartesian, which attributes the immaterial contents of the mind to an immaterial self.
John Foster's new book exposes the inadequacies of the dominant materialist and reductionist accounts of the mind. In doing so he is in radical conflict with the current philosophical establishment. Ambitious and controversial, The Immaterial Self is the most powerful and effective defence of Cartesian dualism since Descartes' own

Review
'This is a lucid, powerful and well-constructed book.' - N.M.L Nathan, MIND
'Anyone interested in the current state of the debate should enjoy John Foster's careful and comprehensive treatment of the issues.' - Times Literary Supplement
'This valuable book can be thought of as the Counter-reformation of Cartesian Dualism. For the first time, I think, a philosopher skilled in contemporary analytical techniques, and informed by analytical scruplousness in argument, has undertaken a full scale defense of the view that the mind is immaterial substance. Whatever our views about the mind, we must all be better off.' - D.M. Armstorng, Philosophical Review
