A unique and satisfying combination of philosophy and cognitive science, this book will appeal to undergraduates and experts alike. Well written, current, and easy to follow, it marks a new territory in the teaching of cognitive science. - Valerie Hardcastle, Virginia Polytechnic Institute, USA

Book Description
Cognitive Science, Literature, and the Arts is the first student-friendly introduction to the uses of cognitive science in the study of literature, written specifically for the non-scientist. Patrick Colm Hogan guides the reader through all of the major theories of cognitive science, focusing on those areas that are most important to fostering a new understanding of the production and reception of literature. This accessible volume provides a strong foundation of the basic principles of cognitive science, and allows us to begin to understand how the brain works and makes us feel as we read. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
