The Peripheral Mind is the first monograph to discuss the philosophical relevance of the Peripheral Nervous System. It combines conceptual analysis, discussion of neuroscientific data, philosophical speculation, and first-person phenomenological accounts to solve a wide range of extant problems in the philosophy of mind.
