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. {Hey, I can't help it.
