How can the human mind represent the world outside it? What is thought, and can it be studied scientifically? Does it help to think of the mind as a kind of machine? Tim Crane sets out to answer questions like these in a lively and straightforward way, presuming no prior knowledge of philosphy or related disciplines. Since its first publication in 1995, The Mechanical Mind has...(展开全部)

Great strides have been made in our understanding of the lexicon since the fir...(展开全部)

Very roughly speaking, representation theory studies symmetry in linear spaces. It is a beautiful mathematical subject which has many applications, ranging from number theory and combinatorics to geometry, probability theory, quantum mechanics, and quantum field theory. The goal of this book is to give a “holistic” introduction to representation theory, presenting it as a unifi...(展开全部)
