This carefully designed, multi-authored textbook covers a broad
range of theoretical issues in cognitive science, psychology, and
neuroscience. With accessible language, a uniform structure, and
many pedagogical features, Mind, Cognition, and Neuroscience: A
Philosophical Introdution is the best high-level overview of this
area for an interdisciplinary readership of students. Written
specifically for this volume by experts in their fields who are
also experienced teachers, the book's thirty chapters are organized
into the following parts: I. Background Knowledge II. Classical
Debates III. Consciousness IV. Crossing Boundaries Each chapter
starts with relevant key words and definitions and a chapter
overview, then presents historical coverage of the topic, explains
and analyzes contemporary debates, and ends with a sketch of
cutting edge research. A list of suggested readings and helpful
discussion topics conclude each chapter. This uniform,
student-friendly design makes it possible to teach a cohort of both
philosophy and interdisciplinary students without assuming prior
understanding of philosophical concepts, cognitive science, or
neuroscience. Key Features: Synthesizes the now decades-long
explosion of scientifically informed philosophical research in the
study of mind. Expands on the offerings of other textbooks by
including chapters on language, concepts and non-conceptual
content, and animal cognition. Offers the same structure in each
chapter, moving the reader through an overview, historical
coverage, contemporary debates, and finally cutting-edge research.
Packed with pedagogical features, like defined Key Terms, Suggested
Readings, and Discussion Questions for each chapter, as well as a
General Glossary. Provides readers with clear, chapter-long
introductions to Cognitive Neuroscience, Molecular and Cellular
Cognition, Experimental Methods in Cognitive Neuroscience,
Philosophy of Mind, Philosophy of Science, Metaphysical Issues, and
Epistemic Issues.

Theoretical Perspective on Smell is the first collection of
scholarly articles to be devoted exclusively to philosophical
research on olfaction. The essays, published here for the first
time, bring together leading theorists working on smell in a format
that allows for deep engagement with the emerging field, while also
providing those new to the philosophy of smell with a resource to
begin their journey. The volume's 14 chapters are organized into
four parts: I. The Importance and Beauty of Smell II. Smell in Time
and Space III. What We Perceive through Smell IV. Smell and Other
Senses The collection solidifies the area as an important emerging
branch of perceptual philosophy by presenting the cutting edge
research being done by innovative early career researchers, as well
as by those more senior and established within the field.
