About this listen

 In this lively and entertaining introduction to the philosophy of mind, Edward Feser explores the questions central to the discipline, and relates them not only to the human brain and its capacity for thought, but also to the increasing sophistication of artificial intelligence. This in-depth primer is an account of all the most important and significant attempts that have been made to answer the riddles of consciousness and thought.©2006 Edward Feser (P)2012 Bolinda Publishing Consciousness & Thought Philosophy Consciousness Artificial Intelligence Computer Science

Editor reviews

Philosophy of the Mind is presented here in two four-and-a-half-hour audiobooks. Each is a wonderful, comprehensive guide to the philosophy of the mind, narrated with patient deliberation by Andrea Powell. The author acknowledges the limits of our understanding of the subject, but does a thorough job conveying what is known of the field. The audio covers artificial technology, human thought, and many other mysterious riddles related to our brains. Specifically aimed at students with no background in philosophy, the program provides a clear introduction to the subject and its key thinkers and their views. Ultimately, this is a discussion of mind vs. matter and the nature of reality. Who isn't interested in pondering these questions for a few hours, guided by Powell's gentle voice?

Critic reviews

“A splendid, highly accessible and lucid introduction. The arguments are engaging and provide a refreshing challenge to some of the conventional assumptions in the field.” (Charles Taliaferro – Professor of Philosophy, St Olaf College, Minnesota)
“Feser has a feel for the enduring problems…an excellent introduction.” (John Haldane – Professor of Philosophy, University of St Andrews, UK)

Although I enjoyed the book, it proved much more challenging than I expected and demands close attention.
