"This book is a great introduction to this fascinating and foundational branch of philosophy. Feser fairly presents the case for and against both a naturalistic and a dualistic understanding of the mind. I wish he would have developed the difference between Aristotelian and Cartesian dualism further." — Matt (5 out of 5 stars)
