Contents:

pt. 1. Cognitive science in crisis? -- pt. 2. Epistemology and methodology -- pt. 3. Consciousness and selfhood.

Summary: The Reaching for Mind workshop, held at AISB '95 (Sheffield, U.K.), explicitly addressed itself to the current crisis in Cognitive Science. In particular, the issue of how this discipline can address consciousness was a leitmotiv in the workshop. The conclusion seems inescapable that there is a need for two sciences in this area. Cognitive Science can be freed to become a fully-edged experimental epistemology by the creation of a science of consciousness encompassing also subjectivity. This exciting collection of papers indicates where both these sciences may be heading.
