Description:
This volume provides a detailed analysis and critique of theories of mind. There is an emphasis on the logical and conceptual difficulties in developing a theory, with special attention to attempts to go from cumulative responses to the greater question of how the mind is generated by the brain. Controversial topics are considered in detail, including discussions of the empirical, logical, and technological barriers to theory building in cognitive neuroscience.The volume will interest students and researchers in theories of mind, particularly those in the fields of cognitive, developmental and applied psychology, neuroscience, and philosophy.
