Description
From new questions concerning qualia, representation, embodiment and cognition to fresh thinking about the long-standing problems of physicalism, dualism, personal identity and mental causation, this book is an authoritative guide to the latest research in the Philosophy of Mind. Across thirteen entries, experts in the field explore the current thinking in one of the most active areas of interest in philosophy today.
To aid researchers further, the Companion also includes overviews of perennial problems and new directions in contemporary philosophy of mind, an extended glossary of terms for quick reference, a detailed chronology, a guide to research for ongoing study and a comprehensive bibliography of key classic and contemporary publications in the philosophy of mind.

Reviews

This volume stands out as a collection of well-focused essays, useful resources, and a clearly written how-to introduction. The chapters, authored by leading philosophers, actually extend the research field. This is power hitting by some of the top thinkers; they cover all the bases for those in the serious game of philosophy of mind.

'"The work is up-to-date and of high quality. Graduate students will appreciate the summary overviews of the particular subtopics; researchers will appreciate that the contributors do not simply summarize the existing literature, but also argue for their own perspectives...The quality of the material is very good, and the format makes this volume a valuable resource for advanced students and scholars.'
