Reviews

An ambitious and groundbreaking book written by Joëlle Proust, an expert from the French CNRS -the National Center for Scientific Research in Paris.
*Fernando Salvetti, Philosophical Practice*

This interesting book constitutes a remarkable contribution to our understanding of a rather neglected subject in philosophy of mind ... Philosophers will find it thought provoking, while psychologists may find some conceptual constructions that will be of use in helping them to better understand and explain their observations.
*Santiago Arango-Muñoz, Mind & Machines*
