'Where it would really come into its own is as a source-book for a second- or third-year seminar class. As such, I heartily commend it to staff and students alike ... to cram so much valuable material into a single medium-sized volume is such an achievement that it disarms criticism. One can't have one's cake and eat it too.' Cogito, Spring 1992 'splendidly compendious collection ... Certainly anyone who read, and took in, all the material in this book would be in a very strong position indeed if confronted with an undergraduate Finals paper on philosophy of mind. This is by any standard a splendidly edited and presented collection of very important work. It is a book to treasure; to contemplate; to refer to casually at dinner parties; and even, when you're feeling up to it, to read.' Tim Chappell, Wolfson College, Oxford, Philosophy Now 'This anthology contains most of the widely discussed and highly influential articles at the center of present thought in the philosophy of mind. I know no better anthology comprising the current issues in this field ... he has given us a marvelous amount to chew on for quite a while.' Jerome A. Shaffer, University of Connecticut
