"This is one I prefer over The Study of Human Nature, also by Stevenson. It is much more reader-friendly but it must be noted the works are interpreted through the authors (Stevenson and Haberman)."
"I bought this book for one of my daughter's college courses. I have some knowledge and experience in behavioral psychology so I read the chapter that included B.F. Skinner, generally not someone included in books of philosophy. That chapter was quite accurate, suggesting that this is a very good textbook and philosophy book.
If I had read the entire book, I might have rated it higher."
"Really comprehensive. Supposed to be a first year book for philosophy students, but I struggled with a couple of the chapters myself, and I'm supposed to know what I'm talking about! (to a certain extent)"
