Philosophical Essays on Dreaming by Charles E.M. Dunlop - Paperback USED Textbook

The study of dreaming has excited philosophers for centuries, and the past few decades have significantly advanced our understanding of the subject.  This book is a collection of the most important philosophical articles on dreaming that have appeared in the past thirty years.  Included are papers by such well-known figures as A.J. Ayer, Norman Malcolm, and David F. Pears.  The sixteen essays address the topics of dreaming and skepticism, the relationship of dreams to perceptions, the concept of dreaming, and the relevance of contemporary dream research to philosophy.  In the course of their discussion, the contributors bring out important connections between philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, and theories of meaning.
