The fourth edition of this popular text has been significantly rewritten to make it more accessible to students and easier for instructors to use. It remains distinctive in presenting a unified narrative of cognitive science as a field of inquiry in its own right. Thematically organized, Cognitive Science underscores the problems and solutions of cognitive science rather than more narrowly examining individually the subjects that contribute to it - psychology, neuroscience, linguistics, and so on. The generous use of examples, illustrations, and applications demonstrates how theory and experiment can be applied to unlock the mysteries of the human mind. Drawing upon cutting-edge research, the text has been updated and enhanced with a new chapter on emotions and the emerging field of affective science. An extensive online set of resources is available to aid both instructors and students.

About José Luis Bermúdez
José Luis Bermúdez's research interests are interdisciplinary in nature at the intersection of philosophy psychology and neuroscience. His many books include The Paradox of Self-Consciousness (MIT Press 1998) which analyzes the nature of self-awareness; Thinking without Words (Oxford 2003) which offers a model for thinking about the cognitive achievements and abilities of prelinguistic infants and nonlinguistic humans and Decision Theory and Rationality (Oxford 2009) which explores tensions in how the concept of rationality is defined and formalized in different academic disciplines. Recent books include Understanding I: Language and Thought published by Oxford University Press in 2017 and The Bodily Self: Selected Essays by MIT Press in 2018. His most recent book The Power of Frames (Cambridge 2020) was supported by an ACLS fellowship for 2018-2019 and an NEH Summer Stipend for 2018. A target article with peer commentary based on The Power of Frames appeared in Behavioral and Brain Sciences (2022).
