Description
"Philosophy of Psychology is an introduction to philosophical problems that arise in the scientific study of cognition and behavior. Jose Luis Bermudez introduces the philosophy of psychology as an interdisciplinary exploration of the nature and mechanisms of cognition. He charts out four influential "pictures of the mind" and uses them to explore central topics in the philosophical foundations of psychology, covering all the core concepts and themes found in undergraduate courses in philosophy and psychology, including: - Models of psychological explanation - The nature of commonsense psychology - Arguments for the autonomy of psychology - Fuctionalist approaches to cognition - Computational models of the mind - Neural network modeling - Rationality and mental causation - Perception, action and cognition - The language of thought and the architecture of cognition "Philosophy of Psychology: A Contemporary Introduction is a very clear and well-structured textbook from one of the leaders in the field.
