Keith Frankish Books

Exploring the nature of belief, Keith Frankish presents a two-level model of the human mind, comprising a basic mind and a supermind. He distinguishes between two types of mental states associated with belief, each serving different explanatory roles. The book addresses critical topics such as conscious thought, the role of language in cognition, and the dynamics of belief formation, including self-deception and first-person authority. This insightful work is essential for philosophers, psychologists, and cognitive scientists seeking to understand complex mental phenomena.

An authoritative, up-to-date survey of the state of the art in cognitive science, written for non-specialists.
