Designed as a textbook for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students, but considered suitable also for experienced philosophers and for readers who are new to the subject, this survey explores, maps and interprets the philosophy of mind. Focusing on the traditional mind/body problem, the author discusses the traditional attempts to explain the mind as a soul, as certain forms of behaviour, as the brain, or as a type of computer, as well as more recent complex attempts to meet objections raised by these accounts. He also includes coverage of the issues surrounding content and consciousness.
