Specifically written for students of philosophy without a great deal of background, <i>This is Philosophy of Mind</i> helps to unravel some of the deep mysteries surrounding the nature of the human mind.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Mandik offers readers an encompassing, up-to-date and engagingly written textbook.</p> <p>...The book along with its companion blog, is a useful, accessible, resource.
