New and Forthcoming Dark Feelings, Grim Thoughts is about the early work of Camus and Sartre, including Camus's The Stranger, The Myth of Sisyphus, The Plague, and Sartre's Nausea, No Exit, and the concepts of Bad Faith and "Being-for-Others." People are minded creatures; we have thoughts, feelings and emotions. More intriguingly, we grasp our own mental states, and conduct the business of ascribing them to ourselves and others without instruction in formal psychology. How do we do this? And what are the dimensions of our grasp of the mental realm? In this book, Alvin I. Goldman explores these questions with the tools of philosophy, developmental psychology, social psychology and cognitive neuroscience. Anil Gupta
asks one of the key questions in philosophy: what is the contribution
of experience to knowledge?
