"Since it appeared almost 20 years ago, Mind and
Cognition has been the premiere anthology in contemporary

position for the foreseeable future."
Shaun Nichols, University of Arizona
"An enormously useful collection, including representative
articles not only on the multitude of positions before and after
the 'cognitive revolution', but also on topics such as
the emotions, animal minds and distinctively perceptual content
that have only recently begun to receive the attention they
deserve. An ideal text for both introductory and graduate study of
the many topics."
