Our heads buzz with them while we're awake. They can spur us to action and creativity, or to daydream, and can be opinionated or contemplative, fleeting or recurring. Without them we may appear robotic and lifeless. Yet it remains surprisingly difficult to explain even the rudiments of thought without confusion or philosophical controversy.

In clear, accessible and engaging style Thought: The Basics gets to grips with the nature of human thought, addressing important questions such as:

What are the contents of thought?
How does thought represent the world around us?
Is thought possible without language?
What causes thoughts in the first place?
Can one be impartial about one's thoughts, or is though subject to bias?
What is rational thought?
Is a body required for thought?
What is free thought?

With just the right balance of theory and examples from philosophy, psychology and neuroscience, Thought: The Basics is ideal for anyone coming to this fascinating but deceptively difficult topic for the first time.
