The Innate Mind: Foundations and the Future Volume 3 (Evolution and Cognition): Volume 3: Foundations and the Future.

Pp. Zustand: Sehr gut. 456 p. In very good condition. - Preface -- This is the last in a series of three volumes on the innate mind. (The others are The Innate Mind: Structure and Contents (2005) and The Innate Mind, Vol. 2: Culture and Cognition (2006), also published by Oxford University Press.) It represents the main products of the final year of the three-year interdisciplinary project Innateness and the Structure of the Mind, funded by the United Kingdom's Arts and Humanities Research Board, with support from the Hang Seng Center for Cognitive Studies at the University of Sheffield, the Evolution and Higher Cognition Research Group at Rutgers University, and the Cognitive Studies Group at the University of Maryland. We are grateful to all these bodies for their support. -- During the academic year 2003-2004, four preparatory workshops were held, one at Rutgers, one at Maryland, and two at Sheffield; and the concluding conference was held in Sheffield in July 2004. We have selected the best, most original, most cohesive essays from those presented at these venues, and also have commissioned chapters from some whose research became known to us in the course of the year. Drafts of these chapters were all displayed on a closed project Web site for the other participants to read and take account of. The result, we believe, is an original, cutting-edge volume that will shape research in this area for many years to come. -- We are grateful to all those who participated in the preparatory workshops and concluding conference, whose comments and contributions to discussions have helped to make this volume better. Special thanks go to those who presented at a meeting during the year but who for one reason or another don't have a chapter included in this volume (some had a chapter included in volume 2 instead). They are: Clark Barrett, Fiona Cowie, Gregory Currie, Daniel Fessler, Juan Carlos Gomez, Joshua Greene, Claire Hughes, Deborah Kelemen, Gary Marcus, David Papineau, Georges Rey, Peter Richerson, Tom Simpson, Karin Stromswold, Luca Surian, and Denis Walsh. -- Finally, we would like to thank Tom Simpson, the project research associate, for his work in helping to organize the workshops and concluding conference, and for ensuring that they ran so smoothly. We would also like to thank Jane-Suilin Lavelle for helping to prepare the volume for press, and Simon Fitzpatrick for the construction of the index.
