Praise
… Dr. Wegner’s critique… is less philosophical than empirical, drawing heavily upon recent research in cognitive science and neurology.—John Horgan, The New York Times—
Fascinating… I recommend the book as a first-rate intellectual adventure.
—Herbert Silverman, Science Books & Films—… very convincing.
—David Wilson, American Scientist—Wegner has finessed all the usual arguments into a remarkable demonstration of how psychology can sometimes transform philosophy…. [He] writes with humour and clarity.
—Susan Blackmore, Times Literary Supplement—Wegner is a terrific writer, sharing his encyclopedic purchase on the material in amusing, entertaining, and masterful ways.
—David Brizer, M.D. , Psychiatric Services—
