This book provides a lucid and incisive summary of issues

The issue of individualism in the philosophy of psychology is related to the larger question of the place of individualism as a viable construct in any scientific account of beliefs, desires and other curiosities of folk psychology. While Wilson's focus on this book is part of an attempt to come to grips with the status of folk psychology and a scientific account of mind as a whole, the book has earned its place as a valuable text for anyone interested in a clear rendering of the issues involved.

Rob Wilson is a dynamic educator.

I have read large sections of this book when I had Rob Wilson as a professor. The text is clear and concise and I recommend it to anyone interested in Individualism.

This book offers an extensive critique of individualism in psychology, a view that has been the subject of debate between philosophers such as Jerry Fodor and Tyler Burge for many years. Robert Wilson approaches individualism as an issue in the philosophy of science, and by discussing issues such as computationalism and the mind's modularity, he opens the subject up for nonphilosophers in psychology and computer science. Because the topic is so central to the philosophy of mind, an area generating enormous research and debate at present, the book has implications for a very broad range of philosophical issues.
