Reviews for Philosophy of Mind: The Basics

This is an excellent book: very clear, very accessible for undergrads or even high-school students, and it manages to achieve this without dumbing down the core ideas too much. It is by far the best intro to philosophy of mind I have ever read. - Bence Nanay, University of Antwerp, Belgium
