r/philosophy; what do you think the most important and/or interesting philosophical works of the past decade have been?
Post Body

With the academic year drawing to a close, we're firmly out of the first decade of the new century. So what books or papers from the past few years have you found particularly enjoyable? Perhaps you didn't agree with their premise, but you still found them fascinating; perhaps they changed your entire world view. Who knows?

My list;

  • Gerald Edelman and Giulio Tononi's A Universe of Consciousness: How Matter becomes Imagination (2000)
  • Jerry Fodor's The Mind Doesn't Work That Way (2001)
  • Daniel Wegner's The Illusion of Conscious Will (2002)
  • Daniel Dennett's Freedom Evolves (2003)
  • Antonio Damasio's Looking for Spinoza: Joy, Sorrow, and the Feeling Brain (2003)
  • Christof Koch's The Quest for Consciousness (2004)
  • Margaret Boden's Mind as machine (2006)
  • Andy Clark's Supersizing the Mind (2008)
  • Anthony Chemero's Radical Embodied Cognitive Science (2009)
  • Lisa Bortolotti's Delusions and Other Irrational Beliefs (2009)

My research interests are, uh, pretty obvious from those titles, but I'm well aware that there are many sub-fields of philosophy that I know very little about - and even less about the contemporary developments in them. So enlighten me!
