In the past decade Ron Sun has been the foremost proponent of the new wave of
hybrid architectures of cognition. By combining the insights of symbolic
andconnectionist approaches, hybrid cognitive systems hold the promise to
break the old dogmatic stalemates and provide a full understanding of the
workings of the human mind. ... This book is essential reading for anyone
trying to keep up with the exploding and exciting new field of hybrid
architectures of cognition.
