Description: This book presents a dualistic view of the mind that goes against the dominant materialist views.
Review Quotes: "This book is almost certainly the most complete and up-to-date defense of dualism in the contemporary literature. Robinson takes on nearly all the philosophical accounts of phenomenal qualities, and offers consistently tight arguments to conclude that dualism is the best of them. Robinson's exposition of the major positions in philosophy of mind is likely the single most accessible overview of the field for college students. This remarkable accomplishment owes much to the extraordinary clarity and brevity of his exposition and argumentation. Part 1 could be used as a companion to courses in philosophy of mind, and as a guide to major literature in the field for graduate students and professionals alike. Essential."
