"The book... contains an original approach to defusing the problim of mental causation that is worth conderation by philosophers of mind." — Holly Andersen, Metaphilosophy

"A splendid book. Lucidly written, large in scope, conversant with the historical and contemporary literature, Mental Causation makes important contributions to the discussion of the causal and explanatory role of mental states in relation to the physical world and fills an important niche in current discussion." — Kirk Ludwig, associate professor of philosophy, University of Florida
