An historical overview and evaluation of modern psychology's theoretical foundations, Mind ranges from Descartes to dynamics in its discussion of such topics as introspectionism, psychoanalysis, behaviorism, and the varieties of contemporary cognitive science. Throughout, these theories are examined and assessed as attempts to construct an overall conception of the perso--as general theories of human nature.

Best philosophy of mind introduction I have come across. The emphasis is more on psychology as opposed to philosophy of mind journal jargon. The compactness of this book is a model to be envied.

The book has 8 chapters, but I only had to read until chapter 7 (at least for the moment. If my professor decides to finish it, then finish it I will)
