""Mind Design II" is a welcome update of its predecessor, itself a
useful compendium on the philosophy of cognitive science. This new
volume retains the intellectual foundations, and some discussions
of classical AI built on them, while adding connectionism, situated
AI, and dynamic systems theory as extra storeys. Which of these is
the most stable, and whether the foundations need to be re-worked,
are questions readers will be eager to explore."--Margaret A.
Boden, Professor of Philosophy and Psychology, University of
Sussex, UK
"Haugeland's "Mind Design II" brings together nearly all the
essential philosophical perspectives in Cognitive Science. If you
want to understand current opinion on the philosophy of mind, you
should make sure you are familiar with the contents of this
book."--James L. McClelland, Carnegie Mellon University and the
Center for the Neural Basis of Cognition
