Footnote ds45

ds45. In his anthology of ancient and modern writers, Immortality (Prometheus 1997), Paul Edwards zeroes in on the mind/body problem. Edwards provides an excellent, lengthy introduction as well as a stimulating "Bibliographical Essay." Nothing from Ryle is excerpted nor, as far as I can tell, is Ryle even mentioned amid all the lively and wide-ranging discussion of the dualism issue. (We note that Edwards compiled Russell's late-career book, Why I am not a Christian (Allen and Unwin 1957) and that Russell and Ryle had had a furious row.)

In any case, for an excellent survey of the mind/body problem, see Edwards's Immortality.
For other footnoted information on Edwards, please see:
