A Neurocomputational Perspective: The Nature of Mind and the Structure of Science: The Nature of Mind and Structure of Science (Bradford Books)

Churchland argues that the central problems in the philosophy of science can only be solved by drawing heavily on the resources of the emerging sciences of the mind-brain. This text shows the fertility of the concepts drawn from the study of the brain and artificial networks that model the brain. These concepts bring unexpected coherence to scattered issues in the philosophy of science, new solutions to old philosophical problems, and new possibilities for the enterprise of science itself.
