Recenzii
Schechter has written an exceptionally good book. Its particular virtues are the care and rigor with which arguments are developed. . . . Schechter makes use of a considerable amount of neurobiological detail, not all of which is made accessible to the non-expert -- this is as much a cognitive science book as a philosophy book . . . Schechter's writing is very appealing -- deft and stylish, in an understated way. This may help keep you going as you make your way through a lot of argument. The book seems to me an exemplary piece of naturalistic philosophy of mind . . . a detailed, careful attempt to get to the bottom of the way the human split-brain phenomenon actually is. The result is a very valuable book indeed.
Moving seamlessly between philosophy, psychology and neuroscience, Self-Consciousness and 'Split' Brains is a rich and wonderfully stimulating account of the commissurotomy syndrome. This is required reading for anyone who wishes to understand the self and the ties that unify consciousness, embodiment, and agency.
Schechter's book illustrates the best kind of philosophy of mind: careful philosophical analysis coupled to penetrating engagement with empirical work. Her discussion of the split-brain phenomenon illuminates the individuation of minds, the unity of consciousness, and the nature of agents and persons. The book will richly reward careful reading.
Split brains have puzzled psychologists and neuroscientists since the first operations. Schechter has mastered the massive literature and argued for profound lessons for the philosophy of mind and action. Inquiring minds will be enthralled.
