This book gives a fairly compact overview of various theories of philosophy of mind. The author, however, shows great fondness of dualism which prevents an objective evaluation of other schools of thought. Throughout the whole book every theory is being weighed in terms of it ability to falsify dualism and the argument unsurprisingly ends in favor of dualism. The examples which have been taken from scientific fields (as oppose to philosophy) are rather sketchy and lack details. Further study is required to get a better understanding of the subject (of philosophy of mind).
