In teaching the Philosophy of Mind in our Cognitive Science MSc programme, I need to use a single collection of papers as a course text. I currently use: William Lycan (1990) _Mind and Cognition:a Reader_, Blackwell. Two other good ones are: Margaret Boden (1990), _The Philosophy of AI_, Oxford. and David Rosenthal (1991) _The Nature of Mind_, Oxford. If anyone knows of other good collections for the purpose, I'd be interested to know about them. Such a collection needs to be broad, up to date, and available in cheap paperback. I'd be interested also in collections of papers on the Philosophy of Science for Cognitive Science. In particular I'd like to know of any which include papers addressing issues of cognitive modelling --- the use of computer models and whether and how they constitute a method of investigating psychological reality.
