Rezensionen

"Mandik offers readers an encompassing, up-to-date and
engagingly written textbook.

...The book along with its companion blog , is a useful,
accessible, resource. All the problems are explored that an
introductory course in philosophy of mind should explore. And the
delivery is always rigorous, concise, clear and stress-free.

Given its emphasis on self-discovery, and given its scope and
accessible style, the book can also be enjoyed (and easily
digested) outside academia by any casual reader curious about what
philosophers of mind are actually up to these days.

...Not only is This is Philosophy of Mind a textbook
from which many undergrads will learn a good deal; it is also one
that many will genuinely enjoy." - Minds and
Machines, June 2014

"This is the most encompassing and up-to-date introduction
to the philosophy of mind available today. Mandik has a gift for
making technical debates accessible, and his engaging tour travels
from the classic to the cutting edge."

--Jesse Prinz, The Graduate Center, CUNY

"Is it possible to write a clear, even-handed,
comprehensive, concise, and engaging guide to contemporary
philosophy of mind--in less than 250 pages? I would not
have thought so either. THANK YOU, Pete Mandik."

--Kathleen Akins, Simon Fraser University
