This series includes monographs and collections of studies devoted
to the investigation and exploration of knowledge, information, and
data-processing systems of all kinds, no matter whether human,
(other) animal, or machine. Its scope spans the full range of
interests from classical problems in the philosophy of mind and
philosophical psychology through issues in cognitive psychology and
sociobiology (concerning the mental powers of other species) to
ideas related to artificial intelligence and computer science.
While primary emphasis is placed upon theoretical, conceptual, and
epistemological aspects of these problems and domains, empirical,
experimental, and methodological studies will also appear from time
to time. This multi-authored volume provides investigations that
fall into three broad areas of inquiry. In Part I, Antti Revonsuo
reviews and evaluates contem porary discussions of the nature of
consciousness. In Part II, Matti Kamppinen explores methodological
issues, distinguishing between "intentional" and "structural"
explanations. In Part III, Seppo Sajama and Simo Vihjanen consider
whether humans ever have direct access to reality (in Section A),
while Matti Kamppinen and Antti Revonsuo explore the conse quences
of the claim that our knowledge of reality is conceptually mediated
(in Section B). These studies combine to provide a stimulating
exploration of cognitive science that should appeal to students and
to scholars alike. J.H.F. vii PREFACE BY THE EDITOR The purpose of
the book is to illustrate how empirical and conceptual problems
interact in modem cognitive science. We argue that several topics
discussed in contemporary research have long historical roots in
philosophy."
