John Haugeland 1945-2010

I was very sad to read at the Leiter reports that John Haugeland had passed away just a few days ago. He was definitely a philosopher I had hoped to meet at some stage but alas no more. I am encouraged that he spent some time at Uni. of Helsinki, though it was before I even knew Finland existed!

I can not recommend enough his collection of essays: Having Thought: Essays in the Metaphysics of Mind

If you are looking for a way to challenge the established understanding of how the mind works there is no better place to start.
