Summary: Why the author is not doing a revision of the book
Comment: I am hardly qualified to review the book since I am its author (sorry about the self-congratulatory stars, but they are required by the form!). I want to mention that the publishers have asked me repeatedly to revise it for another edition. And each time I consider doing so and look over the book, I find that there is nothing I would change. I still believe it represents the distillation of the tacit beliefs that are driving the cognitive science research, even when the practitioners are not fully aware of it and sometimes even when they assert the opposite. The book has been used in classes in psychology, cognitive science, artificial intelligence and pilosophy of mind. While there are things that could be added to the text were a new version to be written, there is nothing I would withdraw or change in what is in the text as it stands.
