In this lively and entertaining introduction to the philosophy of mind, Edward Feser explores the questions central to the discipline; such as 'do computers think', and 'what is consciousness'; and gives an account of all the most important and significant attempts that have been made to answer them.

"A splendid, highly accessible and lucid introduction. The arguments are engaging and provide a refreshing challenge to some of the conventional assumptions in the field." Charles Taliaferro "Feser has a feel for the enduring problems...an excellent introduction." John Haldane - Professor of Philosophy, University of St Andrews, UK "An excellent way for students to be introduced to the topic." William Hasker - Professor of Philosophy, Huntington College, Indiana "Tightly written and admirably clear... Fesar covers just the right topics, and does so judiciously and fairly... a refreshing, provocative, and important addition to the introductory books in philosophy of mind. It should appear on every reading list." David Oderberg - Professor of Philosophy, University of Reading, UK
