Living up to its name

George Graham, in this work, succeeds in remaining loyal to what a reader expects in an introductory book. With clarity and simplicity, Dr. Graham seeks to draw the reader into the inner sanctum of some of the complex issues debated by many of the greatest minds since Descarte. Addressing provocative questions like God's existence and life after death, topics comprising Philosophy of Mind are explicated. Sensitive to the reader's presumed level of understanding , Graham eschews confusing language, and the quagmire some authors unwittingly conduct their audience. Yet, for the non-beginner, further research is available through helpful bibliographies at the end of each section. Footnote explanations are also provided for those desiring more detail. For students uncomfortable purchasing books with 'Dummies' in the title, this work will reward its reader with a taste of Philosophy of Mind and perhaps an answer to the question whether further research in the field is warranted. It's a good start
