About this book
Reviews
... The striking fact about Nelson's book is simply that someone has finally put forth a detailed and theoretically sophisticated version of mechanism.'
Computational Linguistics
`The Logic of Mind offers novel and provation answers to a number of important problems in philosophy of mind. It deserves to be widely read.'
The Philosophical Review
`Overall, The Logic of Mind is a thought-provoking argument for the thesis that humans are automata.'
Contemporary Psychology
` ... is an excellent book written by a first-rate philosopher. It defends a version of mechanism, more specifically the thesis that humans are `non-deterministic finite automata'. ... The book is worth reading: it tours widely around not only the philosophy of psychology and mind, but much contemporary epistemology, philosophy of language, mathematics and logic as well.'
Australian Journal of Philosophy `The Logic of Mind represents one of the fullest and most probing detailed available accounts of the outline of a computational theory of mind. It is no mere rhetoric on the possibility or desirability of such an enterprise.'
Philosophical Psychology, 4 (1) 1991
