Product Review
'The emerging science of Consciousness requirements to pay attention to this voice in order to keep alive the hope of humanizing modern science.' - Jacob Needleman, Professor of Philosophy, San Francisco State University 'A brilliant exploration of consciousness, mind and self.' - Brendan Purcell, Professor of Philosophy, University College, Dublin
Product Description
The degree to which cognitive science can really aspire to be the Science of Mind is an ongoing debate. This highly influential book proposes a new approach to issues of the mind and of consciousness, drawing together themes from Philosophy right through to Artificial Intelligence. The first part of this book presents clear introductions to the disciplines that are traditionally seen to constitute cognitive science (namely: Philosophy, Psychology, Linguistics, Neuroscience, Artificial Intelligence and Ethnology). The second section focuses on the nature of symbol systems, detailing theories of consciousness and selfhood. The two strands are woven together into a new theory of cognition and its development. O Nuallain concludes that a science that fully attempts to deal with cognition must remain au fait with the findings from all other approaches to the study of mind. This new edition has been revised to meet the newest developments of a rapidly changing field.
