The book is a philosophical work that explores the relationship between the mind and matter from a non-materialist perspective. In it, Joad argues against the adequacy of a purely materialist explanation of the universe and our place within it, proposing that the "person" or "soul" is prior to the physical body and brain, suggesting that personality is an essential, non-reducible part of existence. Cyril Edwin Mitchinson Joad was an English philosopher and broadcasting personality. He is most famous for his appearance on The Brains Trust, an extremely popular BBC Radio wartime discussion programme. He managed to popularise Philosophy and became a celebrity, before his downfall in the Train Ticket Scandal of 1948.
