Hi John, > But he is a philosopher so I wouldn't necessarily expect much detailed neuroscience...?
Well, I really liked the neuroscience stuff explanned on the book, they go directly to the point. The neurosicence content is very complete, the main difference with other books is that the authors concern on teach neuroscience in a didatic way (similar to On Intelligence book). In Gazzaning or Kandel book, I had to read 10 pages to take advantage of 2 pages!!
