A lively and incisive collection of papers. Dennett offers us a comprehensive theory of mind, set forth in seventeen essays, united by an extensive introduction.An important book for cognitive psychologists, neurophysiologists, computer scientists, those interested in linguistics and in artificial intelligence, and epistemological philosophers.This new synthesis, by the author of Content and Consciousness, should be of seminal interest to theoreticians in many contiguous fields. It should appeal strongly to non-specialists. And it should become standard student fare for courses in philosophy of mind and in theoretical issues in psychology.
