Philosophy of Mind: An Overview for Cognitive Science

by William Bechtel

Specifically designed to make the philosophy of mind intelligible to those not trained in philosophy, this book provides a concise overview for students and researchers in the cognitive sciences. Emphasizing the relevance of philosophical work to investigations in other cognitive sciences, this unique text examines such issues as the meaning of language, the mind-body problem, the functionalist theories of cognition, and intentionality. As he explores the philosophical issues, Bechtel draws connections between philosophical views and theoretical and experimental work in such disciplines as cognitive psychology, artificial intelligence, linguistics, neuroscience, and anthropology.

[Jose Gaona · Rating 4 out of 5]

Notable introducción a los tópicos más importantes de la filosofía de la mente. Desde sus motivos derivados de la filosofía del lenguaje hasta su emancipación en la segunda mitad del siglo XX como disciplina independiente de aquella con la polémica en torno al funcionalismo. Quizá, por ponerle un pero, hubiera sido más completa si hubiera incluido también los desarrollos más modernos y actuales, aunque hasta donde llega supone una excelente introducción a los temas que abarca.
