The Triadic Structure of the Mind Outlines of a Philosophical System [Paperback]

In this third edition of The Triadic Structure of the Mind, Belfiore expounds his basic ontological conception of the structure and functioning of the mind or spirit as an evolving, conscious triad composed of intellect, sensitiveness, and power, each exerting a selfish and a moral activity.In this third edition of The Triadic Structure of the Mind, Francesco Belfiore begins from the basic ontological conception of the structure and functioning of the mind or spirit as an evolving, conscious triad composed of intellect, sensitiveness, and power, each exerting a selfish and a moral activity. Based on this original concept of the triadic, bidirectional and evolving mind, Belfiore has developed a coherent philosophical system, through which he offers fresh solutions in the fields of ontology, knowledge, language, aesthetics, ethics, politics, and law. The present third edition, like the previous one, includes an extensive treatment of the topics addressed as well as the quotation of the views of the major thinkers, whose thought has been discussed and reinterpreted. In addition, new concepts have been introduced, some passages have been clarified, and the style has been improved in several points. The result is an original and exhaustive book, which will be of interest to all philosophy scholars.FiguresTablesPreface to the First EditionPreface to the Second EditionPreface to the Third EditionChapter 1The Structure and Functioning of the MindChapter 2A Comprehensive Ontological Conception: The Triadic MonismChapter 3Intellect and Its Activity: Knowledge and Its LimitsChapter 4Sensitiveness and Its ActivityChapter 5Power and Its Activity: Mans Action in Society and in the Physical WorldChapter 6The Inward/Moral Activity of Mind: Morality (or Consciousness)Chapter 7Analytic and Continental Philosophy: Critique and ReinterpretationChapter 8Synopsis and ConclusionsReferencesIndexFrancesco Belfiore was a professor of Internal Medicine at the University of Cl#,
