Review

-- The Times Higher Education Supplement

" Required reading for every serious student of the field." -- The Times Higher Education Supplement

" Pylyshyn's book is an exceptionally penetrating and useful analysis of the logical underpinnings of cognitive science, with careful treatments of the intentional, functional, and computational strands of cognitivism and their interrelations." - Steven Pinker, MIT

"I think Pylyshyn has a great deal of important understanding of the role of the architecture in defining the nature of symbolic behavior, more so than almost all of the cognitive-science oriented philosophers and more than most cognitive psychologists.... His development of the notion of cognitive penetrability as an essential criterion is extremely useful in making some of this understanding clear.... He really does bring to this problem a depth of insight that most others do not have."--Allen Newell, University Professor of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University
