Investigates commissurotomy or split-brain patients, multiple personality disorder, as well as self-deception, and considers the theories of classical philosophers in the light of current philosophical thinking. The book introduces new arguments in relation to natural possibility.
Mind and consciousness may split and divide to the extent that there are two minds in one body. Evidence for this comes from commissurotomy or split-brain patients, multiple personality disorder, as well as self-deception. This book investigates these phenomona, and considers the theories of classical philosophers, such as Hume and Kant, in the light of current philosophical thinking. In developing criteria for the unity of the mind, and explaining synchronic personal identity, Brooks puts forward a distinctive philosophy of mind.

Split brains, scattered agents and group minds; is the problem of the unity of mind a pseudo-problem?; Hume's bundle theory of the mind; the Kantian response; the unity of the mind; functionalism and the machine model; irrationality and the splitting of the self; individuating minds and agents. Appendix: naturalness.
