| Summary: | This Companion is an alphabetically arranged reference guide to the the philosophy of mind, with a number of entries that survey adjacent fields of interest. The book is introduced by the editor's Essay on the Philosophy of Mind which serves as an overview of the subject, and is closely referenced to the entries in the Companion. Among the entries themselves are several "self-profiles" by leading philosophers in the field, including Chomsky, Davidson, Dennett, Dretske, Fodor, Lewis, Searle and Stalnaker, in which their own positions within the subject are articulated. In some more complex areas, more than one author has been invited to write on the same topic, giving a polarity of viewpoints within the book's overall coverage. --From publisher's description. |
