The Immaterial Self: A Defence of the Cartesian Dualist Conception of the Mind (International Library of Philosophy)
'This is a lucid, powerful and well-constructed book.'-N.M.L Nathan, MIND'Anyone interested in the current state of the debate should enjoy John Foster's careful and comprehensive treatment of the issues.'-Times Literary Supplement'This valuable book can be thought of as the Counter-reformation of Cartesian Dualism. For the first time, I think, a philosopher skilled in contemporary analytical techniques, and informed by analytical scruplousness in argument, has undertaken a full scale defense of the view that the mind is immaterial substance. Whatever our views about the mind, we must all be better off.'-D.M. Armstorng, Philosophical Review
