The Oxford Companion to the Mind Paperback - 1999

by Richard L. Gregory (Editor); O. L. Zangwill (With)

From the publisher

With 1001 A-Z entries, ranging from brief statements to substantial essays on major topics, The Oxford Companion to the Mind takes the reader on a lively tour of this endlessly fascinating subject, spanning questions and answers within the broad compass of philosophy, psychology, and the
physiology of the brain. This hugely-popular reference work offers an explanatory guide to everyday mysteries--deja vu, jet-lag, humor, and optical illusions--as well as an intelligent look at the more controversial world of parapsychology, including ESP and altered states of consciousness. Current
issues such as aging, artificial intelligence, and criminology are examined in depth. The book provides a special tutorial article on the workings of the nervous system, and boasts a great number of articles on 'topics of mental life', in which well-known writers discuss subjects in which they have
a particular expertise or interest. The entries are arranged alphabetically and linked by a network of helpful cross-references. The 200 illustrations have been carefully chosen to amplify the text, while specialist bibliographies provide suggestions for further reading. The whole work is served by a comprehensive index, making this
a Companion for instant reference as well as continuous reading.

Description:
Great Britain: Oxford University Press. We all have a mind - but do we really know what it is, how the brain works, or what such questions could mean? How does a philosopher's view of the mind relate to what a physiologist may say about the subject? And what can both learn from an experimental psychologist or a psychiatrist? What is the contribution of non-Western traditions to concepts of the mind - and how are new techniques and models expanding possibilities of explaining what is still partially hidden from our understanding? This book is an attempt to answer these questions, to ask new ones, and to promote greater dialogue on this fascinating subject of universal, and yet deeply personal, interest. Illustrated. 856 pp.(We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions etc.) . Very Good. Soft cover. Reprint. 1987.
