Mental Actions

This is a volume that genuinely breaks new ground, and one that will be of broad interest to philosophers of mind, action theorists, and moral psychologists. * Matthew Boyle, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
Even if the highly readable volume will not offer satisfying answers to all questions about mental agency, it certainly succeeds in this self-set task. In fact, its contributions nicely demonstrate why mental agency is both one of the most intriguing and one of the most puzzling topics in philosophy of action. ... Overall, philosophers interested in the topic of mental agency will find this book highly rewarding and interesting - and not merely because there are few other collections around which try to cover the topic in its generality in the current philosophical discussion. For not only do the different contributions combine to give a valuable overview of the current state of play, but, at the same time, Soteriou's introduction provides an excellent starting point for the reader who is less familiar with the discussion. * Erasmus Mayr, Mind *
