Abstract

The Peripheral Mind is a philosophical study defending the hypothesis that the peripheral nervous processes are “constitutive of mental states rather than merely causal contributors to their existence” (xi–xii). Its author, István Aranyosi, is a Romanian / Hungarian philosopher (PhD in 2005) cur- rently working in Ankara, who was granted an award by the American Philosophical Association in 2012. He was encouraged to write this book by David Chalmers.
