Reviews

Introducing Persons is an excellent book--an unfailingly lucid and succinct introduction to the philosophy of mind, rigorously argued, comprehensive and up-to-date . . . the clearest and fullest presentation of the materialist's case available today. - Times Literary Supplement, 1987 Simple and straight forward enough to be accessible to the beginning student, yet his arguments have enough originality to interest the old hand. - Philosophical Quarterly, 1988 Carruthers has written a clear and interesting book which captures much of the excitement and difficulty of the problems he discusses. Its effect may well be to lead a sharper-focused scepticism about some of the currently fashionable views which he adopts. This in itself is no small achievement. - Philosophical Books, 1988
