Rezensionen

'This is not metaphysics passed off as science. This is not psychology posing as philosophy. This really is a book about the philosophical problems encountered in psychology. Bermudez has found a highly enlightening way to taxonomize the issues, and he has put together a unique collection of papers illustrating the various types. The disagreements stand out clearly, so that students and their teachers alike will be provoked into taking sides.' - Christopher Gauker, University of Cincinnati, USA

'This is a cleverly constructed reader that contains essential work from the most important philosophers of psychology of the last three decades. It is the ideal core reader for any course on the philosophy of psychology.' - Tony Stone, London South Bank University, UK
