Mind and Supermind

Discover the fascinating insights of Keith Frankish in his thought-provoking book, Mind and Supermind, published by Cambridge University Press in 2007. This compelling work delves into the intricate architecture of the human mind, presenting it as a two-level structure. Frankish reveals how a non-conscious basic mind underpins a more advanced supermind, which is conscious and heavily reliant on language.

The author argues that a significant oversight among philosophers and psychologists has been their inability to properly distinguish between these two levels of mental functioning. This critical misunderstanding has led to various conceptual challenges in the fields of cognition and cognitive psychology. With 272 pages of insightful analysis, Mind and Supermind is an essential read for anyone interested in the philosophy of mind and the complexities of human thought.
