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.

And moreover, the issue of analytic philosophers not paying due diligence to the continental tradition, as well as continental philosophers not paying any attention to what is going on in analytic philosophy, is a general problem that needs to be addressed.
