Recensione:

Since it appeared almost 20 years ago, Mind and Cognition has been the premiere anthology in contemporary philosophy of mind. This judiciously updated edition secures its position for the foreseeable future.
Shaun Nichols, University of Arizona

An enormously useful collection, including representative articles not only on the multitude of positions before and after the cognitive revolution , but also on topics such as the emotions, animal minds and distinctively perceptual content that have only recently begun to receive the attention they deserve. An ideal text for both introductory and graduate study of the many topics.
Georges Rey, University of Maryland
