What are the landmarks of the cognitive revolution? What are the core topics of modern cognitive science? Where is cognitive science heading? These and other questions are addressed in this volume by leading cognitive scientists as they examine the work of one of cognitive sciences most influential and polemical figures Jerry Fodor. Contributions by Noam Chomsky, Tom Bever, Merrill Garrett, Massimo PiattelliPalmarini, Zenon Pylyshyn, Janet Fodor, C. Randy Gallistel, Ernie Lepore, Mary C. Potter, Lila R.
