The present book is a collection of essays exploring some classical
dimensions of mind both from the perspective of an
empirically-informed philosophy and from the point of view of a
philosophically-informed psychology.
In the last three decades, the level of interaction between
philosophy and psychology has increased dramatically. As a
contribution to this trend, this book explores some areas in which
this interaction has been very productive a" or, at least, highly
provocative.
The interaction between philosophy and psychology can be of
different kinds. For example, psychology can be the subject for
philosophy of science. In such a case, the philosopher of science
pursues the usual set of issues (explanation, reduction, etc.)
within the special case of psychology. Or, philosophy can be the
source of proposals for improving psychology. Vice versa, the
findings of psychology can be used to criticize philosophical
theories and suggest ways to resolve some traditional philosophical
questions about the mind, such as the nature of mental
representation, perception, emotion, memory, consciousness and free
will.
The chapters in this book reflect these different forms of
interaction in an effort to clarify issues and debates concerning
some traditional cognitive capacities. The result is a
philosophically and scientifically up-to-date collection of
"cartographies of the mind."
