How do you know that you picked up this book and didn't just dream that you did? Is the mind nothing more than the brain? Could a computer ever be conscious? In this introduction to the philosophy of mind, Edward Feser tackles these and other questions, providing explanations of everything from the classic accounts of Descartes and Aquinas to the latest ideas about consciousness, cognitive science, and personal identity…
In this lively and entertaining introduction to the philosophy of mind, Edward Feser explores the questions central to the discipline; such as 'do computers think', and 'what is consciousness'; and gives an account of all the most important and significant attempts that have been made to answer them.

Charles Taliaferro - Professor of Philosophy, St Olaf College, Minnesota"A splendid, highly accessible and lucid introduction. The arguments are engaging and provide a refreshing challenge to some of the conventional assumptions in the field."David Oderberg - Professor of Philosophy, University of Reading, UK"Tightly written and admirably clear... Fesar covers just the right topics, and does so judiciously and fairly... a refreshing, provocative, and important addition to the introductory books in philosophy of mind. It should appear on every reading list."  Be the first to write a customer review
