Review
"ÝAn¨ important book, as intelligent and challenging as readers of Fred Dretske's earlier works will expect... Dretske is well-informed in cognitive science, evolutionary biology and animal behavior, and one of the pleasures of his book is the range of examples which inform the arguments.... His careful, nontechnical presentation will be a focus for discussion in the philosophy of mind."-- Christopher Hookway, Times Higher Education Supplement
