This lively, accessible introduction to one of philosophy's most active and important areas established great popularity in its first edition.

It assumes little or no background in philosophy.

Philosophy of Mind includes such central topics as the mind/body problem, personal identity, consciousness, intentionality and freedom of the will, with others that are rarely included in elementary introductions: 'after-death experience', minds of animals and of God, folk psychology, mental illness, altruism, weakness of will, and happiness.
It explores classical and contemporary figures ranging from St. Thomas Aquinas, Descartes and Hume to Paul Churchland, Daniel Dennett, and John Searle.
Readers will find this an ideal, accessible introduction to the philosophy of mind.
