Philosophy of Mind by David J Chalmers
Philosophy of Mind: Classical and Contemporary Readings is a grand tour of writings on the perplexing questions about the nature of the mind. The most comprehensive and best-selling collection of its kind, the book includes selections that range from the classical contributions of Descartes to the leading edge of contemporary debates. Extensive sections cover foundational issues, the nature of consciousness, and the nature of mental content. Three of the selections are published for the first time, while many other articles have been revised especially for this volume. Each section opens with an introduction by the editor.
The volume is comprehensive and the selection of classic pieces - including contemporary, 20th century classics - is terrificI am able to teach material in the order I prefer and I can be sure to find the appropriate reading in this anthology. The Chalmers volume lends itself to tailoring the course syllabus to the needs of the instructor. Moreover, it is the only anthology that I don't have to supplement with handouts or a reading packet, and that is very attractive." Joe Cruz, Williams College
The book is clearly a high quality book, and the selections in it have clearly been thoughtfully selected and organized. It has excellent breadth - perhaps the best breadth of any of the anthologies on the market that I am familiar with." Amy Kind, Claremont McKenna College
I think this is the best anthology on the market. It's very comprehensive, while at the same time not being too bulky." -Michelle Montague, University of Bristol
It is in my view the best anthology available on core topics in Mind." Bill Brewer, University of Warwick
