[This] is an important contribution * John M. Doris, Australasian Journal of Philosophy *
Talking to Our Selves should appeal to all kinds of readers, philosophers and psychologists, students and the general public. For those who are aware of the current state of affairs, Doris is careful to situate his views with respect to other researchers and positions. It's an excellent model for those pursuing work at the intersection of philosophy and social science. But even for those who have not been following contemporary philosophy in this area, by focusing on the bigger picture, Doris has written an accessible and engaging book and one which gives the reader a sense of where empirical philosophy is headed. * Emily Esch, Metapsychology Online Reviews *
This is an excellent book and would make an excellent text for a course or course segment on the nature of moral responsibility. A psychologically and philosophically informed reader would also find it well worth the effort. * Dr Richard M Gray, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61, No. 17, May 2016 *
charming and incisive ... Doris has done a huge service to the cause of empirical philosophy with this book. It is a model of how to do psychologically-informed work ... This is empirical philosophy with integrity. ... It reminds us, with striking real-life evidence, just how hidden we often are from ourselves. Whether this evidence is compatible with our being morally responsible agents is the next important conversation agency theorists ought to have, and we should be grateful to Doris for sparking it in such a bold, original, and colorful way. * David Shoemaker, Notre Dame Philosophical Reviews *
Talking to Our Selves is well-written and well-argued. And the wide-ranging evidence he considers makes for a very interesting and stimulating read. Moreover, its topic, the nature of human agency and moral responsibility, connects directly to the important question of what it means to be human...the theory deserves to be taken seriously, to be engaged and further developed, and to become an important part of our ongoing project of understanding ourselves. * Matthew Van Cleave, Metapyschology *
