Reader reviews for How to Solve the Mind-- Body Problem

From the publisher

The mind is the brain. Each mental state -- each hope, fear, thought -- can be identified with a particular physical state of the brain, without remainder. So argues Nicholas Humphrey in this highly readable yet scholarly essay. He offers strong support for his "identity theory" from evolution. His controversial claim is discussed and challenged in commentaries by authors such as Andy Clark (Being There, 1997), Daniel Dennett (Consciousness Explained, 1991; Darwin's Dangerous Idea, 1995) and Ralph Ellis (Questioning Consciousness, 1995). Humphrey rounds off the book with a response to his critics. An excellent short introduction to the mind-body problem and the study of consciousness.

First line

Two hundred and fifty years ago Denis Diderot, commenting on what makes a great natural philosopher, wrote: They have watched the operations of nature so often and so closely that they are able to guess what course she is likely to take, and that with a fair degree of accuracy, even when they take it into their heads to provoke her with the most outlandish experiments.
