Oxford, UK The Oxford Cognitive Science series is a forum for the
best contemporary work in this flourishing field, where various
disciplines-cognitive psychology, philosophy, linguistics,
cognitive neuroscience, and computational theory-join forces in the
investigation of thought, awareness, understanding, and associated
workings of the mind. Each book will represent an original
contribution to its subject, but will be accessible beyond the
ranks of specialists, so as to reach a broad interdisciplinary
readership. The series will be carefully shaped and steered by the
general editors, with the aim of representing the most important
developments in the field and bringing together its constituent
disciplines. About this book The renowned philosopher Jerry Fodor,
who has been a leading figure in the study of the mind for more
than twenty years, presents a strikingly original theory of the
basic constituents of thought. He suggests that the heart of a
cognitive science is its theory of concepts, and that cognitive
scientists have gone badly wrong in many areas because their
assumptions about concepts have been seriously mistaken. Fodor
argues compellingly for an atomistic theory of concepts, deals out
witty and pugnacious demolitions of the rival theories that have
prevailed in recent years, and suggests that future work on human
cognition should build upon new foundations. This lively,
conversational, accessible book is the first volume in the Oxford
Cognitive Science Series, where the best original work in this
field will be presented to a broad readership. Concepts will
fascinate anyone interested in contemporary work on mind and
language. Cognitive science will never be the same again.
