Read Ed Feser’s introduction to philosophy of mind first and then return. That helped me immensely.
One star seems harsh for a book you abandoned. It is not an easy read, and I agree that the “conversation” requires a certain negative capability. However the argument behind it is worth the effort — so far — I’m only a few chapters in.
This is definitely not a book intended for those who are new to academic philosophy, but an intelligent reader should also be able to work through it. As philosophy goes, it is not hard. Why would you suppose that Hart was writing this book for the reader you describe? Seems a lazy and selfish review.
