An Invitation to Cognitive Science

by Justin Lieber

Professor Leiber's exuberant but incisive book illuminates the inquiry's beginnings in Plato, in the physiology and psychology of Descartes, in the formal work of Russell and Gödel, and in Wittgenstein's critique of folk psychology.

[Eric Tao]

A well-written book that takes one through a broad overview of the goals of cognitive science and runs through the history of some of its major figures. Although hard to understand at points (particular in the sections about Wittgenstein), the book succeeded for me in its goal, to get its reader to want to know more about this fascinating field.
