The philosophy of mind is one of the fastest-growing areas in
philosophy, not least because of its connections with related areas
of psychology, linguistics and computation. This "Companion" is an
alphabetically arranged reference guide to the subject, firmly
rooted in the philosophy of mind, but with a number of entries that
survey adjacent fields of interest.
The book is introduced by the editor's substantial "Essay on the
Philosophy of Mind" which serves as an overview of the subject, and
is closely referenced to the entries in the Companion. Among the
entries themselves are several "self-profiles" by leading
philosophers in the field, including Chomsky, Davidson, Dennett,
Dretske, Fodor, Lewis, Searle and Stalnaker, in which their own
positions within the subject are articulated. In some more complex
areas, more than one author has been invited to write on the same
topic, giving a polarity of viewpoints within the book's overall
coverage.
All main entries have a full bibliography, and the book is
indexed to the high standards set by other volumes in the Blackwell
Companions to Philosophy series.
