Recenzii

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.
The articles are all of high quality, and each has something of interest to offer potential readers. http://ndpr.nd.edu/news/28861-the-continuum-companion-to-philosophy-of-mind-2/
