Harman's book,
By Bookworm (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Reasoning, Meaning, and Mind (Paperback)
It was o.k. Some of the issues he discusses just seemed a little trivial and semantical in nature. I liked the section on rationality a lot better than for example, the one on meaning.

Gil, you RULE,
This review is from: Reasoning, Meaning, and Mind (Paperback)
In Gil's official portrait, found on the jacket of the book, he looks not unlike Rudy Giuliani. I printed a large copy of this portrait off his web page and hung it in my office -- every time I looked up at it, I'd hear Gil saying "so, you're going to hand your dissertation in next week, right?" This was very inspirational. Anyway, there is plenty of awesome fodder in the book. Sometimes when I need a philosophical intuition confirmed, I look in the book, and lo and behold, there is some terse statement that indicates that Gil had thought the idea up 30 years ago. IQE is a fine article on experience; very thought-provoking and worth intensive study. Wide Functionalism is also a fine piece of work. Kieran says that Practical Reasoning is a classic, and although I don't work on that stuff I found it very impressive.
