Developments in the philosophy of mind over the last 20 years have dramatically changed the nature of the subject. In this major new introduction, Tim Bayne presents an outstanding overview of many of the key topics, problems, and debates, taking account not only of changes in philosophy of mind itself but also of important developments in the scientific study of the mind. The following topics are discussed in depth: What distinguishes a physicalist conception of the mind? Behaviourism, the identity theory, functionalism, and eliminativism as accounts of the mental The nature of perception, including the issue of perceptual transparency, the admissible contents of perception, and the question of unconscious perception The nature of thought, including the language of thought hypothesis, Searle's Chinese room argument, and the Turing test The basis of intentional content Externalist accounts of content and the 'extended mind' thesis Consciousness-based objections to physicalism, and illusionist and panpsychist conceptions of consciousness Theories of consciousness, including methodological issues in the study of consciousness Mental causation, including both philosophical and scientific challenges The problem(s) of other minds, including knowledge of non-human minds Self-knowledge Personal identity and the nature of the self The book features a number of boxes that provide a more in-depth look at particular issues. Also included are chapter summaries, guides to further reading, and a helpful glossary of terms. Written by a leading figure in the field, Philosophy of Mind: An Introduction is an invaluable core text for any student coming to philosophy of mind for the first time.

'This is a marvelous introduction to the philosophy of mind. It focuses on the foundational issues that have made philosophy of mind such a vital area of inquiry for the last 50 years. And it places those issues in the context of contemporary research in both philosophy and science. The book deftly integrates the scientific work without losing sight of the deep philosophical problems. Bayne also achieves an excellent balance of accessibility and philosophical precision. It is likely to become the standard text on philosophy of mind for years to come.' - Shaun Nichols, Cornell University, USA

A jewel that belongs in every classroom!' - René Jagnow, University of Georgia, USA
'An ideal introduction to the subject by a leader in the field. It covers the traditional big questions, including the mind-body problem, mental causation, and self-knowledge. But it is also on the cutting edge, featuring detailed discussions of recent hot topics. And it is unique among introductions to the subject in giving a prominent place to both empirical considerations and a priori philosophical arguments. Lucidly written and neatly organized throughout, Bayne's introduction will be a delight for students and teachers alike.' - Adam Pautz, Brown University, USA
