«The Mechanical Mind» is Tim Crane's essay on the philosophy of mind, published by Penguin in paperback (240 pages, in English).
The book addresses how the mind represents the world, whether thoughts can be directed at reality, and whether the mind can be understood as a kind of machine or computer. Tim Crane defends a naturalistic and causal view of the mental: mental states are natural phenomena that cause and receive effects from the physical world.
The book belongs to the Penguin Philosophy collection and was originally published in 1995.
The book is intended for general readers interested in philosophy of mind, psychology, or artificial intelligence who want an accessible and non-technical introduction to debates about the mind.
