Neurophilosophy is a rich interdisciplinary study of the prospects for a unified cognitive neurobiology.

Patricia Smith Churchland is Professor of Philosophy at the University of California, San Diego. A Bradford Book. Review:andquot;Churchland's approach is... refreshing, and it is well carried out .... I am going to use Neurophilosophy as the textbook in my graduate course in cognitive neuropsychology. For anyone interested in the 'real' CNS, this volume is by far the best that has come out of cognitive science.andquot; - Karl H. Pribram, Contemporary Psycholoqy Review:andquot;Neurophilosophy is a pioneering work. As our understanding of the brain develops, philosophers will need to know more about the function of its parts, while neuroscientists will increasingly confront philosophical issues. This perceptive, lively and informative book combines both approaches in ail up to date and very readable manner. andquot; - F.H.C. Crick, The Salk Institute Review:andquot;Churchland writes with the authority of an insider.andquot; - Philip Kitcher, Nature Synopsis:Neurophilosophy is a rich interdisciplinary study of the prospects for a unified cognitive neurobiology. Synopsis:'Neurophilosophy is exactly the introduction to the neurosciences that philosophers need, and exactly the introduction to philosophy of mind that neuroscientists need, and only someone who knew both fields very well could write it. This is a unique book. It is excellently written, crammed with information, wise and a pleasure to read.' ---Daniel C. Dennett, Tufts University
