In particular, the issue of how this discipline can address consciousness was a leitmotif in the workshop. The conclusion seems inescapable that there is a need for two sciences in this area. Cognitive Science can be freed to become a fully-fledged experimental epistemology by the creation of a science of consciousness encompassing also subjectivity. This exciting collection of papers indicates where both these sciences may be heading. Contributors include Bernard Baars, John Taylor, William Hoffman and Se/an /O Nuall/ain. The `Reaching for Mind' workshop, held at AISB '95, addressed the current crisis in Cognitive Science, in particular the issue of consciousness. This exciting selection of papers discusses the need for two sciences in this area: a science of consciousness which encompasses subjectivity and Cognitive Science as a fully-fledged experimental epistemnology.

He is currently on sabbatical leave at the National Research Council (NRC), Canada from his Associate Professor (tenured lecturing) post at Dublin City University (DCU), Ireland where he initiated and directed the B.Sc. in Applied Computational Linguistics. He is the author of a book on the foundations of Cognitive Science: "The Search for Mind" (Ablex, 1995). He has run the international workshop on "Reaching for Mind" (co-chair Paul Mc Kevitt) at Sheffield, England in April, 1995. Paul Mc Kevitt is 32 and from D/un Na nGall (Donegal), Ireland on the Northwest of the EU. He is a Visiting Professor of Intelligent Multimedia Computing at Aalborg University in Denmark, EU and a British EPSRC (Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council) Advanced Fellow in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Sheffield in Sheffield, England, EU. The Fellowship, commenced in 1994, and releases him from his Associate Professorship (tenured Lecturership) for 5 years to conduct full-time research on the integration of natural language, speech and vision processing. He is currently pursuing a Master's Degree in Education at the University of Sheffield. He completed his Ph.D. in Computer Science at the University of Exeter, England in 1991. His Master's Degree in Computer Science was obtained from New Mexico State University, New Mexico, USA in 1988 and his Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science from University College Dublin (UCD), Dublin, Ireland in 1985. His primary research interests are in Natural Language Processing (NLP) including the processing of pragmatics, beliefs and intentions in dialogue. He is also interested in Philosophy, Multimedia and the general area of Artificial Intelligence. Eoghan Mac Aog/ain is Director of Instidiud Teangeolaiochta (Linguistics Institute) of Ireland. He studied philosophy at University College Dublin (UCD), Ireland and psychology at the Centre for Advanced Study in Theoretical Psychology at the University of Alberta, Canada. He has participated in a number of EU Natural Language Processing (NLP) projects, and is currently involved on PAROLE, which will provide computational lexica and corpora for 13 Union languages to a common standard. His interests include corpus-based approaches to grammar writing and the design of language learning programmes. He is the fonder editor of the international journal: Language, Culture and Curriculum. =========================================================================== <TWO SCIENCES OF MIND> <TWO SCIENCES OF MIND> <TWO SCIENCES OF MIND> =========================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We publish the tables of contents of current journal issues and working papers if they are of reasonable length; and we maintain journal backlists on our listserv.
