A Brief Introduction to the Philosophy of Mind

This single authored text provides a balanced, accessible introduction to four core areas in contemporary philosophy of mind the mind-body problem; mental content (intentionality), including a chapter on images and concepts; mental causation; and the nature of consciousness. This is an excellent resource for students, featuring text boxes; historical interludes providing context; reading and discussion questions; lists of key terms at the end of each chapter; and a general glossary, all of which aid in student understanding of this notoriously difficult material.
