Breaking new ground in the debate about the relation of mind and body, David Armstrong's classic text - first published in 1968 - remains the most compelling and comprehensive statement of the view that the mind is material or physical.
In the preface to this new edition, the author reflects on the book's impact and considers it in the light of subsequent developments. He also provides a bibliography of all the key writings to have appeared in the materialist debate.

Review:

"Armstrong's was the most important book to appear in the philosophy of mind in decades. . . . And the work remains contemporary in its approach now more than twenty years later. A reissue is a very welcome event, especially welcome for Armstrong's long and informative new preface; he gives some valuable historical background, makes some clarifications, relates his views to subsequent discussion, and updates and revises where appropriate. This edition should become a staple for the new generation of philosophers of mind."
-William G. Lycan, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
