    On the World as Misrepresentation

    About this ebook

    This work in the philosophy of mind and epistemology transcends and discredits 'private' views of representation. The work identifies the four errors of a 'Cartesian inheritance' that have greatly contributed to misunderstandings that are steeped in dualism. A dualism that ignores the need for a greater context of community, peace, and relations that are based on dialogue. In extensive endnotes, Tim Kellebrew draws upon his 35 years of clinical experience as a therapist to make unique observations about mind and consciousness that only a trained dialogical therapist could make. Kellebrew concludes that the social referents of dialogue and the dialogical realm should lead to increased tolerance, acceptance, confirmation of Others, and to peace. Discussions of philosophical ideas abound in the work, ranging from Martin Buber, Hilary Putnam, Richard Rorty, David Rosenthal, Plato, Borges, and especially, Descartes. The problems of dualism, one and many, mind and consciousness, other minds, and representational knowledge, are among the many philosophical themes discussed in this work.
