Sergio Moravia''s The Enigma of the Mind (originally published in Italian as L''enigma della mente) offers a broad lucid critical and historical survey of one of the fundamental debates in the philosophy of mind: the relationship of mind and body. The book has two central aims--to sketch the major recent contributions to the mind-body problem from philosophers of mind and once this framework is established to articulate a particular interpretation of the mental and the mind-body problem.
