Product Description
Written by a stellar group of internationally renowned scholars, this work gathers thirteen new essays on key topics in the lively, interdisciplinary field of cognitive science. Philosophers, psychologists, and neurologists come together to investigate such fascinating subjects as the neural basis of language, cognition, and emotion; consciousness; vision; rationality; artificial life; and the relations between mind and world--our representation of numbers and space, for instance. For anyone who has ever been fascinated by the exploration of the human mind, this book is a must.
