Abstract

Hampshire has chosen twelve articles to represent recent thought on the philosophy of mind. The selection covers articles in a variety of topics including the mind-body problem, emotion, desire, and the "private language" controversy. The selection is notable in that Hampshire has intentionally chosen articles which suggest the relevance of much of the analytic work on the philosophy of mind to questions of ethics and moral psychology. Among the authors represented in the anthology are D. F. Pears, Wilfrid Sellars, G. E. M. Anscombe, Richard Rorty, and H. H. Price. The volume merits comparison with the anthologies of Chappell, Gustavson, and Anderson, and is a worthwhile complement to them.—A. W. W.
