Realism Regained
An Exact Theory of Causation, Teleology, and the MindRobert C. KoonsIn this technical philosophical treatise, Discovery Institute Fellow Robert C. Koons investigates an innovative philosophy of mind. Koons takes on two powerful dogmas in this wide-ranging philosophical work: anti-realism and materialism. In doing so, Koons develops an elegant metaphysical system that accounts for such phenomena as information; mental representation; our knowledge of logic, mathematics and science; the structure of spacetime; the identity of physical objects; and the objectivity of values and moral norms.
