Philosophy of Mind: Classical and Contemporary Readings

David J. Chalmers
Keith FrankishKeith Frankish

I've been reading David Chalmers' new book Reality+. It's excellent! Although its topic is virtual reality and the simulation hypothesis, it's also a very clear introduction to central themes in philosophy of mind, philosophy of science, epistemology, and ethics. Recommended.
