Synopsis
A scholarly examination of the centrality of the mind-body problem within and across the science of cognition—from philosophy to psychology to artificial intelligence to neural science.
Booknews
Traces the ravages of the ancient problem since the time of Plato across discipline borders, pursued by cognitive scientists. Wagman (psychology, U. of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign) begins with his own field, then discusses information-processing systems, quantum physics, parallel distributed processing, hybrid symbolic connectionist paradigms, representations, brain imaging, and neural science.
