An ambitious and groundbreaking book written by Joelle 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-Munoz, Mind & Machines *
