G.E. Moore used to answer the question, 'What is philosophy?' by pointing to the books on his shelves and saying, 'Philosophy is what these books are about.' Philosophy of mind is what some of those books are about, and its enquiries frequently move into neighbouring areas, with logic, semantics, neurophysiology, literature, epistemology and metaphysics providing some obvious examples, as the papers in this collection reveal. Contents: The Connection Between Impressions and Ideas; Reid on Testimony and Perception; Searle on Programs and Intentionality; Dennett, Functionalism and Introspection; Functionalism and the Argument from Conceivability; A Materialist's Misgivings about Eliminative Materialism; Sensation, Theory and Meaning; On the Speculative Nature of our Self Conception: A Reply to Some Criticisms; The Inward and the Outward: Fantasy, Reality and Satisfaction; Amnesia and Psychological Continuity.
