This book brings together nine major essays in the philosophy of mind that the author has written since his last collection, Knowledge and Certainty, was published in 1963. Writing in a clear, nontechnical style that will appeal to the nonprofessional, Professor Malcolm presents and defends interesting alternatives to common views on important topics in the philosophy of mind.
