Description

Susan Schneider's The Language of Thought: A New Philosophical Direction does precisely what its title claims: it provides a new orientation for the language of thought and the related computational theory of mind. Schneider bravely stakes out new theoretical commitments for LOT, such as a pragmatist theory of concepts and a theory of symbols. Whether you agree or disagree with the LOT approach -- I myself am a critic -- Schneider's book is an absolutely necessary read for anyone interested in philosophy of mind and the foundations of cognitive science. Mark Bickhard , Henry R. Luce Professor in Cognitive Robotics and the Philosophy of Knowledge, Lehigh University
