Guide to the philosophy of mind

I've set up a new page on my website: Guide to the philosophy of mind.  This mostly involves the philosophy of mind entries from the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, for which I've been philosophy of mind editor since 1997 (with Daniel Stoljar joining as co-editor a year ago).  It seems useful to gather all of these in one place.  Of course the SEP is a perpetual work in progress, but it's attained critical mass by now, with around two-thirds of the commissioned entries in philosophy of mind completed, and almost all of the rest completed at least in draft (e.g. in the near future, look out for Leopold Stubenberg on neutral monism, Alec Hyslop on other minds, and Susanna Siegel on the contents of perception).  I've also included links to some other relevant SEP entries, and at some point I might also add some other reference articles from elsewhere on the web.

Why isn't George Wilson's fine entry on Action listed as a related entry in the SEP? I have the same question about the entries by Sarah Buss on Personal Autonomy and Randy Clarke on incompatiblist theories of free will. These all seem at least related to the philosophy of mind.

I've added the action entry -- I missed it the first time around. As for the others, almost the whole fields of free will, personal identity, and moral psychology (for example) are pretty closely related to the philosophy of mind, as are large chunks of epistemology and the philosophy of language. So I've been somewhat selective, in order to avoid the list mushrooming. In many cases I have a link to a main entry (e.g. on free will, personal identity, practical reason), which then can be used as a jumping off point for other entries.
