My philosophical treatise, In Defense of the Mind, is coming out in early February. I'm super excited about this book. The treatise features prominently my theory of mind, "dualistic existentialism," and discusses it in depth, discussing why it is an important theory of mind to consider. The mind is a complex phenomenon, as I learned as I studied the philosophy of mind. However, I was determined to have some kind of decent foundationalist theory of mind, and so that is why I wrote this book. This doesn't mean that my theory is definitive and absolute, of course, it just means that I had some concerns to bring to the table. This is even more important when considering that the book is about mental illness as well, and the philosophy of mental illness, and existential dualism is the theory of mind that is thought through in order to potentially improve the well-being of those with a mental condition. I will keep you posted on the book, but I hope that you will give it a shot. It may be a little technical because it uses certain theories in philosophy in a very specific way, but I believe that it is actually quite accessible, for those that want the challenge, as I use anecdotal evidence and I try to write in a straightforward manner. So, In Defense of the Mind: Coming your way!
