      A spot-on review. I couldn't agree more. I'd only add I was shocked to see no reference to Alexandre Koyré or Edmund Husserl, who already made the book's point about Galileo and the mind Siri Hustvedt on Panpsychism’s Shifting Foundations https://lithub.com/siri-hustvedt-on-panpsychisms-shifting-foundations/ … via @lithub

      I agree. It is a bit strange to have a book on Galileo's error and then not talk about Crisis, where Husserl discusses that very error. But Goff will be in Copenhagen for a talk in a couple of months, and I will ask him

      I haven't read the review yet, but surely this depends on what you're trying to do with the book. I wasn't trying to write a comprehensive history but an opinionated introduction to the problem of consciousness & three solutions.

      Fair. Still unfortunate there's no citation of Husserl in your two books on consciousness, considering that he was the first to make your point about Galileo. It makes you seem as if you're the first and reinforces the perception of analytic philosophy as narrow and ahistorical.

      The review is just as "insular" and narrow as its portrayal of analytic philosophy. It also completely misunderstands Goff in the paragraph about research on emotions. Also, it's completely unreasonable to expect a complete history of both traditions in a popular philosophy book.

      For me, it's not a question of a complete history, which of course is unreasonable and not germane here. It's a matter of citation practices, which are known to be excessively lax in philosophy (this is true not just for analytical philosophy).

          I agree with Evan. The issue is not about covering all of the history of philosophy. The point is simply that Husserl spends a central part of one of his most important works criticizing Galileo for having pushed a view of science that ignores subjectivity. Why not mention it?

          I do concede that Philip should have mentioned it, but I'm also certain that there was no ill will behind the omission...

          I agree. I'd really love to see more philosophers connecting the two traditions (and respecting citation practices!)
