Mind & Reality:

In this anthology of selections from The MIT Press, four of today's most distinguished philosophers speculate on the nature of the human mind. Among the subjects discussed are: consciousness and its place in nature, the emergence of language and reflection, the meaning of mental representations, and, in a coda exploding with possibilities, the expansion of consciousness by conceptual revelation. The authors' diverse viewpoints illuminate many issues that bear on current philosophical debates.
