Philosophy of Mind and Cognition cover

David Braddon-Mitchell and Frank Jackson’s popular introduction to philosophy of mind and cognition is now available in a fully revised and updated edition.


  • Ensures that the most recent developments in the philosophy of mind and cognitive science are brought together into a coherent, accessible whole.

  • Revisions respond to feedback from students and teachers and make the volume even more useful for courses.

  • New material includes: a section on Descartes’ famous objection to materialism; extended treatment of connectionism; coverage of the view that psychology is autonomous; fuller discussion of recent debates over phenomenal experience; and much more.

"This new edition of Braddon-Mitchell and Jackson's already excellent textbook will be a very welcome addition to the philosophy of mind literature." Simon Prosser, University of St Andrews
