> Pluralism and the Future of Cognitive Science
> The era of searching for the theory of the mind is over...

> “The notion that there could be one unified theory for the mind/ 
> brain can seem overly simplistic and idealistic, denying the  
> diverse range of measures and explanatory goals present in  
> cognitive science. The opposite of this perspective, that there  
> will be more (perhaps many more) than just one good theory for the  
> mind/brain, is the perspective of pluralism. This is the topic of  
> the special issue.” Guest Editor, Professor Rick Dale.
