Attitudes, Chaos, and the Connectionist Mind

By J. Richard Eiser

Book Overview

This book presents a broad ranging and fascinating examination of attitudes: how we form them, how we organize them towards others. Beginning with more traditional views of attitudes from the philosophy of Hume through early psychological writings to more recent research in connectionism and cognitive science, the author argues that human attitudes should not be regarded as simple evaluative judgments but rather as part of a more complex dynamic system.
