This book discusses the lives of major 20th-century philosophers, topics in the philosophy of mind, and ethics. It is accessible to the general reader who wants to know what has happened in philosophy in the last two decades.

In Minds and Bodies, one of philosophy's most dynamic and versatile thinkers gathers nearly forty review essays written over the past twenty years for non-specialized publications. They cover biography, particularly of Russell and Wittgenstein; philosophy of mind, especially consciousness; and ethics, with an emphasis on applied ethics. Taken together these essays form a vivid picture of contemporary philosophy for the general reader, and will be welcomed by those within the philosophical community for their crisp critical insights and rigorous assessments.

Colin McGinn is Professor of Philosophy at Rutgers University.
