Edited by Peter Baumgartner & Sabine Payr

Book Description | Table of Contents

ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS:

"These interviews provide fascinating glimpses into the conceptual schemes of some of the leading thinkers in cognitive science and philosophy of mind. The presentation of so many diverse viewpoints is both informative and entertaining."--Paul Thagard, University of Waterloo

"I really like this book. The editors have done a first-class job--the canonical insiders take on Artificial Intelligence and cognitive science. As they suggest, the book is best read as a kind of hypertext, slipping between the various responses to the core questions used to organize the interviews. The result is an invaluable teaching resource and a very good read."--Andy Clark, Washington University

"Baumgartner and Payr have compiled a fascinating collection of the stories that cognitive scientists tell to motivate themselves. The difficulties they encounter get as much attention as their accomplishments in these frank and revealing dialogues. It is cognitive science with a human face."--George A. Miller, Princeton University
