Rezensionen

"It is fantastically difficult to cross the boundary between philosophy and psychology without getting embarrassingly stuck on the fence. Butterfill's book demonstrates why the risk is more than balanced by the potential benefits for both sides. It will be an invaluable textbook, and should be read by anyone interested in the tight relationship between cutting-edge theory and evidence in developmental psychology and philosophy of mind." - Ian Apperly, University of Birmingham, UK
