Connectionism and the Philosophy of Psychology

This issue contains papers delivered at the occasion of a conference on Connectionism and Philosophy of Psychology which took place in Ljubljana, Slovenia, August 14-16, 1997. The conference was dedicated to the discussion of the book bearing the same title, written by Terence Horgan and John Tienson, and published by M.I.T. in 1996. Connectionism´s success may be tracked down to several shortcomings of the classical cognitive science, which are bound to presuppositions of exceptionless representational level rules and of tractable cognitive function.
