About the Author
“This is an elegant book. The text is intended as an introduction to philosophy, but by the end it has introduced some of the more sophisticated arguments current among philosophers about the issues. The author has a position of his own which is developed with care and graciousness.” — Robert C. Neville.
Review
""Introducing Persons is an excellent book--an unfailingly lucid and succinct introduction to the philosophy of mind, rigorously argued, comprehensive and up-to-date . . . the clearest and fullest presentation of the materialist's case available today."
-"Times Literary Supplement, 1987
"Simple and straight forward enough to be accessible to the beginning student, yet his arguments have enough originality to interest the old hand."
-"Philosophical Quarterly, 1988
"Carruthers has written a clear and interesting book which captures much of the excitement and difficulty of the problems he discusses. Its effect may well be to lead a sharper-focused scepticism about some of the currently fashionable views which he adopts. This in itself is no small achievement."
-"Philosophical Books, 1988
