Every two years since 1989, an international colloquium on cognitive
science is held in Donostia - San Sebastian, attracting the most
important researchers in that field. This volume is a collection of the
invited papers to the Sixth International Colloquium on Cognitive
Science (ICCS-99), written from a multidisciplinary, cognitive
perspective, and addressing various essential topics such as
self-knowledge, intention, consciousness, language use, learning and
discourse. This collection reflects not only the various
interdisciplinary origins and standpoints of the participating
researchers, but also the richness, fruitfulness, and exciting state of
research in the field of cognitive science today. A must-read for anyone
interested in philosophy, linguistics, psychology, and computer science,
and in the perception of these topics from the perspective of cognitive
science.
