Description
About the Author
Amy Kind is Professor of Philosophy at Claremont McKenna College. Although she has broad interests in the philosophy of mind, most of her research centers on issues relating to phenomenal consciousness and issues relating to the imagination. Her work has appeared in journals such as Philosophy and Phenomenological Research, Philosophical Studies, Australasian Journal of Philosophy, and The Philosophical Quarterly. She has edited the forthcoming Routledge Handbook of Philosophy of Imagination. Peter Kung is Associate Professor of Philosophy and former Department Chair at Pomona College. He has held visiting or teaching appointments at New York University, Stanford University, Claremont Graduate University, and the National University of Singapore. His research centers on two areas: the philosophy of mind, in particular thought experiments; and epistemology, where he focuses on the limits of skeptical challenges and the proper treatment of probabilistic reasons. He has published a number of articles in leading peer-reviewed journals.
Reviews
An admirable effort to bring the imagination to the attention of epistemologists. The philosophical study of the imagination should not be confined to aesthetics and the philosophy of mind. The epistemology of the imagination is still only in its infancy, but hopefully this volume will help bring it up to a more mature state. * Margot Strohminger, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
