"A fine history of the central views of mind. Highly recommended [for] upper-division undergraduates through faculty and professionals." - D. M. Chirico, York College CUNY, USA, in CHOICE"This volume is a pleasure to read and makes accessible a range of difficult topics by staying with a single (but large) philosophical and psychological problem and attempting to tease out a number of responses to this problem. This is a brilliant idea, and although I wish I had thought of this, I am glad that Lise and Michael Wallach did." - Hank Stam, Ph.D., University of Calgary, Canada"For advanced undergraduates and early graduate students, the coverage in this volume is quite fine. I am impressed with the range of what is included here, both from psychology and various philosophic standpoints." - Kenneth J. Gergen, Ph.D., Swarthmore College, USA"The Wallach's conclusion--constituting the eighth view of mind--is an ambitious synthesis of the preceding seven. [...] [T]he book represents a valuable contrbiution to attempts to clarify the most basic categories of psychological knowledge, and to make explicit the assumptions underlying them. It should be read by anyonei nterested in a clear and insightful overview of the diversity of prspects on 'the mind' that are currently influential. In our headlong rush to produce more psychological knowledge, the book provides a rare resource with which to reflect on what we are really doing."-Jeffrey Yen, University of Guelph, Journal of the History of the Behavioral Sciences
