Book Description
The Matter of the Mind addresses and illuminates the relationship between psychology and neuroscience by focusing on the topic of reduction.
"The editors, and the contributors, are to be congratulated. This is the best collection on the nature of intertheoretic reduction ever published, especially as those issues bear on the unfolding relations between the neurosciences on the one hand, and psychology and the social sciences on the other. Thanks to these papers, all of us (yours truly included) are going to be rethinking our views on reduction." --Paul M. Churchland, University of California, San Diego
"Parties on both sides of the reductionism wars will benefit from this exciting collection. The editors and their contributors well represent the cutting edges of the philosophy of mind and the philosophy of science regarding the reducibility (or lack thereof) of minds to brains." --Pete Mandik, William Paterson University

Book Description
The Matter of the Mind addresses and illuminates the relationship between psychology and neuroscience by focusing on the topic of reduction.
- Written by leading philosophers in the field
- Discusses recent theorizing in the mind-brain sciences and reviews and weighs the evidence in favour of reductionism against the backdrop of recent important advances within psychology and the neurosciences
- Collects the latest work on central topics where neuroscience is now making inroads in traditional psychological terrain, such as adaptive behaviour, reward systems, consciousness, and social cognition.
