Godel and Cognitive Science (Korean edition)

The notion of cognitive science is among the most pervasive ones in new century science. Cognitive science grew out of mathematical questions regarding the foundations of mathematics, but cognitive science has now outgrown its mathematical roots, and has become an integral part of modern science. Gödel and Cognitive Science presents a detailed examination of the implications of Kurt Gödel's works for cognitive science from the perspective of metamathematics. This book is designed for students who plan to specialize in cognitive science, as well as for those who are interested in the fields of artificial intelligence, brain science, cognitive psychology, logic, linguistics, philosophy, and mathematics. There are five main chapters: Cognitive Science, Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems, Gödel and Symbolic Cognitive Science, Gödel and Connectionist Cognitive Science, and Gödel's Cognitive Science. Exploring such topics, Woosik Hyun connects mathematical logic to world around us through the eyes of Gödel. From mathematics and logic to insights into the working of the human mind, Gödel and Cognitive Science is a reflection of the latest intelligent systems from the frontiers of mathematico-logical thought.
