Synopsis

The computational theory of mind has been influential in philosophical studies of cognition. However, this book pronounces the theory deficient, refuting its claims and assumptions, particularly the assertion that symbolic representations need not have conventional meaning. The book goes on to sketch a new methodology for looking at the philosophy of psychology, one that provides a more fruitful way of comparing computational psychology with rival views emerging from connectionism and neuroscience.
