No detailed description available for "Philosophy of Cognitive Neuroscience".
Back Jacket
This book deals with how scientists, especially cognitive neuroscientists, explain phenomena. It systematically analyzes different kinds of experiments performed throughout the discovery process. Against this background, it evaluates contemporary accounts of scientific explanation--specifically mechanist and interventionist views--and supplements them with a catalog of experiments. Taking experimental practice at face value helps to reconfigure our understanding of how experiments reveal the world.
