*Features* Cover Type: Hard Cover with 344 pages Published by: The MIT Press November 21, 1991 Written in: English ISBN 10 Number: 0262071355 ISBN 13 Number: 978-0262071352 Book Dimensions: 9.3 x 6.3 x 1 inches Weighs: 1.6 pounds *Product Description* These essays by a major epistemologist reconfigure philosophical projects across a wide spectrum, from mind to metaphysics, from epistemology to social power. Several of Goldman's classic essays are included along with many newer writings. Together these trace and continue the development of the author's unique blend of naturalism and reliabilism. Part I defends the simulation approach to mentalistic ascription and explores the psychological mechanisms of ontological individuation. Part II shows why epistemology requirements help from cognitive science - not only to evaluate cognitive agents but also to illuminate the practices of epistemic evaluators. Parts III and IV explain how philosophical projects can be reshaped through interchange with social science. An epistemological study of scientific activity exploits the economic paradigm, and philosophical tools are applied to analyze power in society. Alvin I. Goldman is Professor of Philosophy and Research Scientist in Cognitive Science at the University of Arizona. During 1991-92 he served as President of the American Philosophical Association, Pacific Division. Contents: Mind and Metaphysics. Interpretation Psychologized. Metaphysics, Mind, and Mental Science.
