This collection of readings shows how cognitive science can influence
most of the primary branches of philosophy, as well as how philosophy
critically examines the foundations of cognitive science. Its broad
coverage extends beyond current texts that focus mainly on the impact
of cognitive science on philosophy of mind and philosophy of
psychology, to include materials that are relevant to five other
branches of philosophy: epistemology, philosophy of science (and
mathematics), metaphysics, language, and ethics. The readings are
organized by philosophical fields, with selections evenly divided
between philosophers and cognitive scientists. They draw on research in
numerous areas of cognitive science, including cognitive psychology,
developmental psychology, social psychology, psychology of reasoning
and judgment, artificial intelligence, linguistics, and
neuropsychology. There are timely treatments of current topics and
debates such as the innate understanding of number, children's theory
of mind, self-knowledge, consciousness, connectionism, and ethics and
cognitive science.
