Cognitive science is the study of minds and mental processes. Psychology, neuroscience, computer science, and philosophy, among other subdisciplines, contribute to this study. In this volume, leading researchers debate five core questions in the philosophy of cognitive science: Is an innate Universal Grammar required to explain our linguistic capacities? Are concepts innate or learned? What role do our bodies play in cognition? Can neuroscience help us understand the mind? Can cognitive science help us understand human morality? For each topic, the volume provides two essays, each advocating for an opposing approach. The editors provide study questions and suggested readings for each topic, helping to make the volume accessible to readers who are new to the debates.

Adam J. Lerner is Assistant Professor/Faculty Fellow at the New York University Center for Bioethics. He completed his PhD in Philosophy at Princeton University in 2018 and he works on issues in ethics, metaethics, moral psychology, and the philosophy of mind.

Simon Cullen is Assistant Teaching Professor of Philosophy at Carnegie Mellon University. He earned his PhD in Philosophy at Princeton University in 2015 and was a postdoctoral research fellow at Princeton Neuroscience Institute in 2017. His work focuses on the folk concept of self, especially the notion of a "true self" and its theoretical and normative implications; developing empirical methods to advance experimental philosophy and other areas of social scientific inquiry; and helping people improve at open-minded analytical reasoning and communication.
