Highly-technical monograph disputing Putnam's hypothesis of multiple realization and its advocates; the authors instead prefer the identity theory: "they see little prospect - or need - for multiple realization in an empirically-based theory of mind." Casually INSCRIBED by Shapiro to a colleague. Hardcover in jacket as pictured. Barest hint of wear, seems unread. Size: Octavo.
