Description
Representation in Cognitive Science explores one of philosophy's most fundamental questions: how do our thoughts relate to the world around us?
Nicholas Shea examines this issue through cutting-edge research in cognitive neuroscience, using case studies from psychology and cognition to develop a naturalistic account of mental representation.
This book offers a distinctive approach, focusing on the 'subpersonal' representations that underpin much of cognitive science. With its diverse range of examples and detailed illustrations, it provides a fresh perspective on this complex topic.
