From the 'what I read on my summer vacation' corner...
I'm halfway through a book which touches on the whole topic of
the relationships among cognitive psych, AI, philosophy, etc.
It's called _The Computational Philosophy of Science_, by Paul
Thagard of SUNY Binghampton. Cambridge Mass : MIT Press, 1988.
He goes into the utility of writing programs to simulate mental
processes, & goes one beyond Kuhn xor Popper in proposing a method
for the phil. of sci. It seems to be a pretty comprehensive &
readable textbook, with tutorials at the back & a good bibliography.
