"In AN INTRODUCTION TO THE PHILOSOPHY OF MIND, E.J. Lowe attempts to combat 'the growing tendency to present the subject in a quasi-scientific way, as though the only proper role for philosophers of mind is to act as junior partners within the wider community of 'cognitive scientists'". He also seeks to expand what he sees as the rather narrow focus of other introductory texts in philosophy of mind. In both respects he succeeds brilliantly, illuminating not only standard issues such as the metaphysics of mind, but also sensation, perception, thought and language, reasoning and artificial intelligence, action and intention, personal identity and self-knowledge."Lowe, E. J. is the author of 'Introduction to the Philosophy of Mind' with ISBN 9780521654289 and ISBN 0521654289.
