Reviews

Block's anthology is sure to become a standard reference for philosophy of psychology; the papers [have]...already fixed the general direction of this field for the next several years. Cognitive psychology cannot but profit from the interest that this anthology is sure to generate among philosophers.

A splendid collection. The papers assembled in Block's anthology will prove to be of lasting value to anyone wishing to engage the philosophical dimension of cognitive science.
