C. D. Broad (1887-1971) taught for many years at Trinity College, Cambridge. A philosopher of extremely wide-ranging interests, Broad made significant contributions to philosophy of mind, metaphysics, ethics and the history and philosophy of science. He also had a longstanding interest in 'psychical research'-a subject he approached with the disinterested curiosity and scrupulous care that is characteristic of his philosophical work. The author of several books, his most important works are Scientific Thought (1923), The Mind and Its Place in Nature (1925), and Examination of McTaggart's Philosophy (1933-1938).
Joel Walmsley is a Lecturer in the Department of Philosophy at University College Cork, Ireland. He is the author of Mind and Machine (2012), and co-author of Mind: A Historical and Philosophical Introduction to the Major Theories (2006).
