Reviews

Inarguably, this edited collection by Evans and Frankish is the definitive statement of the status quo in this area of work * Philosophy in Review *

<br> The edited book In Two Minds: Dual Processes and Beyond brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines to discuss both specific and generic dual process theories. The book details the many ways in which the history of science and of Western thought has characterized the mind as partitioned, providing greatly needed historical and philosophical perspectives...entries do an excellent job of introducing unique perspectives on specific dual or multiprocess theories....The intended audience for n Two Minds includes students and professionals who have an interest in human psychology and behavior. --PsycCRITIQUES<br>

Author Information

Jonathan Evans has conducted a major research programme on thinking and reasoning since the 1970's. His publications include seven authored books and well over 150 scientific papers. His research includes study of cognitive biases in reasoning and judgement, and of the psychology of conditionals. He is one of the founders of the dual-process theory of reasoning and in recent years has extended this interest to broadly based dual-system theories of the mind. Keith Frankish is Senior Lecturer in Philosophy at The Open University. His research spans debates about the nature of belief, the structure of the mind, and consciousness. His publications include two authored books, three co-edited volumes, and numerous journal articles and book chapters. His 2004 book Mind and Supermind argued that a dual-systems perspective is implicit in everyday belief-desire psychology and explored the implications of this view for issues in philosophy of mind.
