5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant, March 15, 2000
By 
MDM (Ithaca, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Having Thought: Essays in the Metaphysics of Mind (Hardcover)
This collection of Haugeland's work just brilliant. The range of topics is amazing, from AI and cognitive science to constitution and existential committment.As usual, Haugeland is both insightful and rigorous, philosophically deep and also humorous. He combines what's best in both the analytical and the phenomenological traditions. This is what a lot more philosophy ought to look like in the coming decades. (Now he needs to give us a book on Heidegger.)

4.0 out of 5 stars This is not a book to read., February 7, 2000
This review is from: Having Thought: Essays in the Metaphysics of Mind (Hardcover)
This is not a book to read, it is really a book to study. Unlike Haugeland`s great "AI: the very idea" or "mind design", this book carries a deep philosophical tone, and will not be readily understood by the same audience.

If you're in for a deep dive down the philosophy of mind, go for it.
