C. D. Broad's Ontology of Mind cover

This insightful examination of C. D. Broad's work focuses on his influential ideas about mind, substance, and perception in C. D. Broad's Ontology of Mind.

In C. D. Broad's Ontology of Mind, L. Nathan Oaklander delves into the philosophical contributions of C. D. Broad, whose work spans over fifty years. This exploration focuses primarily on Broad's seminal text, The Mind and Its Place in Nature, highlighting key themes rather than providing a comprehensive overview of his entire oeuvre. By concentrating on specific issues, Oaklander offers a nuanced understanding of Broad's philosophical inquiries.

The book examines essential topics such as substance, universals, relations, space, time, and intentionality, particularly in the realms of perception, memory, and introspection. These fundamental issues are crucial for grasping Broad's perspective on the nature of mind and its relationship to the world. Oaklander's analysis not only clarifies Broad's ideas but also situates them within the broader context of 20th-century philosophy, showcasing the relevance of his thoughts today.

L. Nathan Oaklander, a student of the esteemed philosopher Gustav Bergmann, brings his academic background to bear in this study. Through careful examination and interpretation of Broad's work, C. D. Broad's Ontology of Mind serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in the intersections of ontology and philosophy of mind, illuminating the lasting impact of Broad's ideas on contemporary philosophical discourse.
