Naturalism, Evolution and Mind (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780521003735)

Issues covered include the advantages of construing the mind as an adaptation, the naturalization of intentional and phenomenal content, the evolution of means-end reasoning, rationality and higher-order intentionality methodological issues in cognitive ethology and evolutionary psychology.
