Dans cette brillante analyse des problèmes corps-esprit, Edward Pols ajoute de nouveaux dimensions à la discussion des problèmes de base.
Le prisonnier est Socrate, qui, dans une série d'actions impliquant des décisions morales, se retrouve sous la peine de mort, et qui a maintenant décidé de subir la peine plutôt que d'accepter l'opportunité de s'échapper fournie par de puissants amis. Pols prend comme point de départ la déclaration naïve de Socrate du contraste entre une analyse scientifique d'une action morale et du point de vue pris par l'agent lui-même, et son rejet de l'adéquation de l'analyse scientifique.

(full book description) Southern Illinois U.P., Carbondale, IL, 1975. Hard Cover, w/Dust Jacket. Size=6.5"x9", 371pp( Index). ISBN 0809306794 [Mind and Body: Human Action: Philosophy] In this brilliant analysis of mind-body problems Edward Pols adds new dimensions to the discussion of basic issues. The prisoner is Socrates, who, in a series of actions involving moral decisions, finds himself under sentence of death, and who has now decided to undergo the sentence rather than accept the opportunity to escape provided by powerful friends. Pols takes as his point of departure Socrates' naïve statement of the contrast between a scientific analysis of a moral action and the point of view taken by the agent himself, and his rejection of the adequacy of the scientific analysis. Pols was a Harvard educated (AB 1940, PhD 1948) veteran of WWII and the Korean War who taught at Bowdoin College from the late 1940s until his retirement in the late 1980s.
