Review Praise for the previous edition:'This is an excellent introduction to the philosophy of mind. The book is admirably wide ranging, exemplifying Heil's vast knowledge of the field. It is also impressively accessible, without ever sacrificing faithfulness to the difficult issues it discusses. Furthermore, thanks to Heil's characteristic stylistic flair and unpretentiousness, it's consistently fun to read. This volume will serve as a great introduction for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and professionals in the field'.Henry Taylor, University of Birmingham, UK Details ISBN 1041053630 Author John Heil Publisher Taylor & Francis Ltd Year 2026 ISBN-10 1041053630 ISBN-13 9781041053637 Edition Description 5th edition Series Routledge Contemporary Introductions to Philosophy Edition 5th Format Paperback Imprint Routledge Subtitle A Contemporary Introduction Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Replaces 9781138581012 Alternative 9781041053750 Illustrations 36 Line drawings, black and white; 36 Illustrations, black and white Audience Tertiary & Higher Education Country of Origin GB Product Class Description Philosophy Publication Date 2026-01-22 UK Release Date 2026-01-22 Pages 324 DEWEY 128.2 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.

  2. I had a ‘90s copy. I was excited about the new edition. With a new forward by J Wasserman and intro by LM DuQuette. The book was excellent value and it arrived in perfect condition as it was sold new. A gorgeous looking tome.I gave 5 stars for the description, I had no communication with the seller and only gave 4 stars for Dispatch Time. Dispatched on Nov 4th with the last day being tomorrow. The process was great. Highly recommended. I’ve done business with these guys and will continue to.

  3. I love these diaries but they can be a little expensive. However this was a good price from this seller and I would definitely use this seller again. Excellent communication. The delivery time was a little longer than stated but it wasn’t the seller’s fault. They were very supportive. I was worried the item would arrive bent or folded if it was taking so long in transit but it was really well packaged and in perfect condition.
