Biography
Rey received a doctoral degree in philosophy from Harvard University in 1978.[1] His thesis was titled The possibility of psychology: some preliminary issues,[1] and was completed under Hilary Putnam.[citation needed]
His book Contemporary Philosophy of Mind discusses the topic of philosophy of mind.[citation needed] One major focus of Rey's exposition relates to eliminativism and instrumentalism, particularly with respect to the mental states that we are subjectively aware of by way of introspection.[citation needed] Rey is the author of the current article on philosophy of mind at Encyclopædia Britannica Online.[citation needed]
