Description for Rules, Reason, and Self-Knowledge
Hardback. Tanney challenges not only the cognitivist approach that has dominated philosophy and the special sciences for fifty years, but metaphysical-empirical approaches to the mind in general.

About Julia Tanney
Julia Tanney is Reader in Philosophy of Mind at the University of Kent.
Reviews for Rules, Reason, and Self-Knowledge
Julia Tanney's Rules, Reason, and Self-Knowledge is a radical challenge to the cognitivist paradigm in contemporary analytic philosophy of mind posed from within the paradigm itself. Tanney's grasp of theory is that of an insider, and the depth and comprehensiveness of her arguments will make the book virtually impossible to ignore.
