The Search for Mind

NuallÁin (Stanford U.) presents an introductory textbook for undergraduate cognitive science courses. He devotes explanatory chapters to what he views as the constituent elements of the interdisciplinary field: philosophy, psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and ethology. Finally, using the preceding elements and a concept he calls "symbol-systems," he sketches out his own theory of the foundations of cognitive science. Distributed in the US by ISBS.
