This book makes some often difficult language, and topics, approachable for those willing to learn it.
Excellent and Comprehensive
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is a simple (though not simpleminded) introduction to the philosophy of mind (includes such topics as "consciousness", "self", "mental phenomena", etc). McGinn writes eloquently and uses interesting metaphors (eg, refers to the brain as "that greyish dumpling"). It is highly recommended to the interested person who wants a comprehensive overview of this lively area of contemporary philosophy.
