The Matter of the Mind addresses and illuminates the relationship between psychology and neuroscience by focusing on the topic of reduction.
- Written by leading philosophers in the field
- Discusses recent theorizing in the mind-brain sciences and reviews and weighs the evidence in favour of reductionism against the backdrop of recent important advances within psychology and the neurosciences
- Collects the latest work on central topics where neuroscience is now making inroads in traditional psychological terrain, such as adaptive behaviour, reward systems, consciousness, and social cognition.
“The Matter of the Mind is a well organized book which hosts contributions on the main subjects about philosophy of mind and it is definitely worthwhile reading.” (Metapsychology, 14 May 2013)
