Mind A Brief Introduction

'The philosophy of mind is unique among contemporary philosophical subjects,' writes John Searle, 'in that all of the most famous and influential theories are false.' One of the world's most eminent thinkers, Searle dismantles these theories as he presents a vividly written, comprehensive introduction to the mind. He illuminates the problems within topics such as materialism, consciousness, the mind-body problem, intentionality, mental causation, free will, and the self. The book offers a refreshingly direct and engaging introduction to one of the most intriguing areas of philosophy.
