Philosophical Applications of Cognitive Science

In this short, accessible, and entertaining book, Alvin Goldman presents a masterly survey of recent work in cognitive science that has particular relevance to philosophy. Besides reviewing the most suggestive work in cognitive and social psychology, Goldman demonstrates conclusively that the best work in philosophy in a surprising number of different fields--including not just philosophy of mind but also philosophy of science, epistemology, metaphysics, and ethics--must take into account empirical breakthroughs in psychology.Goldman, Alvin I. is the author of 'Philosophical Applications of Cognitive Science', published 1993 under ISBN 9780813380391 and ISBN 0813380391.
