Deconstructing the Mind cover

In this book, Stich unravels - or deconstructs - the doctrine called "eliminativism". Eliminativism claims that beliefs, desires, and many other mental states we use to describe the mind do not exist, but are fictional posits of a badly mistaken theory of "folk psychology". Stich makes a U-turn in his book, opening up new and controversial positions.

Stich's argument, presented in the first chapter, will surely become a classic essay in the study of mind....Surely ought not to be missed. * Choice *
