About this title

Synopsis

In this brilliant analysis of mind-body problems Edward Pols adds new dimen�sions to the discussion of basic issues.

The prisoner is Socrates, who, in a se�ries of actions involving moral decisions, finds himself under sentence of death, and who has now decided to undergo the sentence rather than accept the opportuni�ty to escape provided by powerful friends. Pols takes as his point of departure Socrates’ na�ve statement of the contrast be�tween a scientific analysis of a moral action and the point of view taken by the agent himself, and his rejection of the adequacy of the scientific analysis.

About the Author

Edward Pols is Professor of Philosophy and Chairman of the department at Bowdoin College.
