Description
A vitally important work of philosophical anthropology and a devastating criticism of the theory of behaviourism. Includes a new Preface by the author and a new Foreword by Alva Noë, setting the book in philosophical and historical context.
"A vehemently interesting book. The philosophical part displays the most remarkable grasp of the contemporary philosophical situation and its historical roots... There is also a satisfactory absence of the tones and attitudes of any particular philosophical school." - Elizabeth Anscombe, The New Statesman
"A most valuable and systematic account of a major problem in the explanation of behaviour. His arguments are both powerful and of the greatest possible general interest." - Times Literary Supplement
