In recent decades cognitive science has revolutionised our
understanding of the workings of the human mind. Philosophy has
made a major contribution to cognitive science and has itself been
hugely influenced by its development. This dynamic book explores
the philosophical significance of cognitive science and examines
the central debates that have enlivened its history. In a
wide-ranging and comprehensive account of the topic, philosopher
M.J. Cain discusses the historical origins of cognitive science and
its philosophical underpinnings; the nature and role of
representations in cognition; the architecture of the mind and the
modularity thesis; the nature of concepts; knowledge of language
and its acquisition; perception; and the relationship between the
brain and cognition. Cain draws upon an extensive knowledge of
empirical developments and their philosophical interpretation. He
argues that although the field has generated some challenging new
views in recent years, many of the core ideas that initiated its
birth are still to be taken seriously. Clearly written and
incisively argued, The Philosophy of Cognitive Science will appeal
to any student or researcher interested in the workings of the
mind.
