Abstract :
This is the authorʹs reply to three very different reviews of Mind As Machine: A history of Cognitive Science (Vols 1–2). Two of the reviews, written by Paul Thagard and Jerry Feldman, engage with the book seriously. The third, by Noam Chomsky, does not. It is a sadly unscholarly piece, guaranteed to mislead its readers about both the tone and the content of the book. It is also defamatory. The author provides appropriate responses to all three.
