The notion of modularity, introduced by Noam Chomsky and developed with special emphasis on perceptual and linguistic processes by Jerry Fodor in his important book The Modularity of Mind, has provided a significant stimulus to research in cognitive science. This book presents essays in which a diverse group of philosophers, linguists, psycholinguists, and neuroscientists―including both proponents and critics of the modularity hypothesis―address general questions and specific problems related to modularity.

Jay Garfield is Doris Silbert Professor in the Humanities, Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Logic Program and of the Five College Tibetan Studies in India Program at Smith College, Professor in the graduate faculty of Philosophy at the University of Massachusetts, Professor of Philosophy at Melbourne University and Adjunct Professor of Philosophy at the Central Institute of Higher Tibetan Studies.
"This volume is a testimony to the fertility of Fodor's ideas and the range of their application.... Garfield's introduction to the entire book and separate introductions to each of its four sections are marvelously lucid and helpful to the reader who is negotiating unfamiliar territory."
—Helen Smith Cairns, Contemporary Psychology
