philosophy, artificial intelligence, neuroscience, linguistics, and anthropology. In these investigations, many philosophical issues
arise concerning methods and central concepts.
The Handbook of Philosophy of Psychology and Cognitive Science contains 16 essays by
leading philosophers of science that illuminate the nature of the theories and explanations used in the investigation of minds.
Topics
discussed include representation, mechanisms, reduction, perception, consciousness, language, emotions, neuroscience, and evolutionary
psychology.
