Unmatched in the quality of its world-renowned contributors, this
multidisciplinary "Companion "serves as both a course text and a
reference book across the broad spectrum of issues of concern to
cognitive science.
Cognitive science is one of the most exciting intellectual and
scientific developments of the second half of the 20th century,
integrating insights from psychology, linguistics, artificial
intelligence, neuroscience, philosophy, and other disciplines in an
attempt to understand human cognition. It is also a rapidly
transforming domain of inquiry.
This C"ompanion" presents a deep and varied account of what one
needs to know about cognitive science, what it has accomplished,
and where it will be going at the start of the 21st century.
Beginning with an introduction that maps the narrative history of
cognitive science as a whole, the volume goes on to present sixty
newly-commissioned essays that together provide an unparalleled
survey of all the topical areas, major methods, and stances. There
are explanatory overviews of key controversies, detailed
discussions of the application of work in cognitive sciences to the
real world, and anticipations of future developments.
"A Companion to Cognitive Science" can be seen as the ultimate
resource guide to this fast-moving field of study.
