'Tom McClelland provides a comprehensive and thoroughly informed introduction to the major topics in contemporary philosophy of mind. This lucid and engaging book is a splendid resource for undergraduates and for the interested public.'
Derk Pereboom, Cornell University
'This is a lucid and fun introduction based on scholarship as deep as it is lightly worn by a leading philosopher of mind. It's snappy yet packs in everything you need: history plus a compelling take on the state of the art.'
Stephen Butterfill, Warwick University
