[…] My Mind on Books gives us a preview of the philosophy of mind books coming out next year […]
[…] Nonetheless, I’m looking forward to reading all the books listed here: Philosophy of Mind Books Coming Out in 2009. […]
Ok, I should have said “I’m looking forward to reading SOME of the books listed here…”
[…] Mind on Books, Philosophy of Mind Books 2008-2009 Just out and forthcoming books to help you understand your brain understanding […]
I’m writing a new book titled “The Psychology of Buy-In” that offers a model to help uncover, weight and influence the criteria we use to filter out/in the information that comes our way in order to expand decision possibilities.
Other than Merleou-Ponty’s work, and Benjamin Libet’s work, anyone know of any other books that I can reference?
Sharon – Are you looking specifically for philosophy titles related to your subject? I wasn’t sure because of the mention of Libet. Daniel Dennett discusses Libet in ‘Consciousness Explained’ though I’m not sure how well that fits your subject. Another possibility is a recent book called ‘The Overflowing Brain’ (http://mymindonbooks.com/?p=895) – I haven’t looked at it yet but it has to do with attention and information filtering. There’s also Jonah Lehrer’s new book coming in Feb on ‘How We Decide.’ (http://mymindonbooks.com/?p=1093)
Another way to go would be to start with a book that fits your topic and look for related titles. For example on Amazon you can get a list of 100 books that cite Merleau-Ponty’s ‘Phenomenology of Perception’:
http://www.amazon.com/Phenomenology-Perception-Routledge-Classics-Merleau-Ponty/dp/book-citations/0415278414/ref=sid_dp_av?ie=UTF8&citeType=cited#cited
LibraryThing, Google Books and Google Scholar would also be good places to browse for related titles.
Maybe some blog readers will have suggestions too.
