Softcover. Condition: Gut. 242 p. Vergilbt, sonst guter Zustand / Yellowed, otherwise in good condition. - Introduction I. BACKGROUND TO MATERIALISM People sometimes talk about one another in terms that are just as appropriately applied to inanimate objects, and sometimes in terms that are primarily, if not exclusively, applied to human beings. For example, we talk about the size, weight, chemical composition and physical movements of ourselves and others, just as we characterize stones and houses in these ways. In addition, however, we describe the beliefs, desires and perceptions we have, and these types of characterization seem primarily reserved for application to human beings. To mark this contrast, philosophers often discriminate between two kinds of descriptions, physical and psychological. It is clear that there is some difference between describing people (and animals) in psychological terms, and describing objects in general (including people) in physical terms. This difference reflects the fact that people are described in ways that inanimate objects are not. When we describe people in psychological terms, therefore, it seems that we are saying something about them that is not covered by any physical descriptions. It is generally conceded that this difference exists, even though no general method for classifying particular descriptions as of one sort or the other has been successful, and therefore arguments about apparent borderline cases often occur.
