Among the topics explored are the relationships (theoretical, reductive, and explanatory) between philosophy, psychology, computer science, and physiology; what should be asked of models in science generally, and in cognitive science in particular; whether theoretical models must make essential reference to objects in the environment; whether there are human competences that are resistant, in principle, to modelling; whether simulated thinking and intentionality are \u003cem\u003ereally\u003c\/em\u003e thinking and intentionality; how semantics can be generated from syntactics; the meaning of the terms \"representations\" and \"modelling;\" whether the nature of the \"hardware\" matters; and whether computer models of humans are \"dehumanizing.\" Contributors include Donald Davidson, Daniel C. Dennett, Margaret A. Boden, Adam Morton, Dennis Noble, T. Poggio, Colin Blakemore, K.V. Wilkes, P.N. Johnson-Laird, and Jonathan St. B.T.
