Abstract
The field of textbooks in philosophy of mind is a crowded one. I shall consider six recent texts for their pedagogical usefulness. All have been published within the last 4-5 years, though two are new editions of previously published books. Three are authored monographs: An Introduction to the Philosophy of Mind by K. T. Maslin, On the Philosophy of Mind by Barbara Montero, and Mind: A Historical and Philosophical Introduction to the Major Theories by Andre Kukla and Joel Walmsley. The other three are anthologies: Mind and Cognition edited by William Lycan and Jesse Prinz; Arguing About the Mind edited by Brie Gertler and Lawrence Shapiro; and Contemporary Debates in Philosophy of Mind edited by Brian McLaughlin and Jonathan Cohen. These six texts constitute a diverse bunch. Within each of the two groups (monographs and anthologies), each individual text differs significantly from the other two in its approach, scope, and thus suitability for various levels of teaching. I shall begin with the monographs.
