Artificial intelligence, or AI, is a cross-disciplinary approach to
understanding, modeling, and creating intelligence of various
forms. It is a critical branch of cognitive science, and its
influence is increasingly being felt in other areas, including the
humanities. AI applications are transforming the way we interact
with each other and with our environment, and work in artificially
modeling intelligence is offering new insights into the human mind
and revealing new forms mentality can take. This volume of original
essays presents the state of the art in AI, surveying the
foundations of the discipline, major theories of mental
architecture, the principal areas of research, and extensions of AI
such as artificial life. With a focus on theory rather than
technical and applied issues, the volume will be valuable not only
to people working in AI, but also to those in other disciplines
wanting an authoritative and up-to-date introduction to the field.

Cognitive representation is the single most important explanatory
notion in the sciences of the mind and has served as the
cornerstone for the so-called 'cognitive revolution'. This book
critically examines the ways in which philosophers and cognitive
scientists appeal to representations in their theories, and argues
that there is considerable confusion about the nature of
representational states. This has led to an excessive
over-application of the notion - especially in many of the fresher
theories in computational neuroscience. Representation Reconsidered
shows how psychological research is actually moving in a
non-representational direction, revealing a radical, though largely
unnoticed, shift in our basic understanding of how the mind works.
