Jack Lyons's work is mainly in the philosophy of mind, cognitive science,
and epistemology. He also has interests in the philosophy of science
and the history of modern philosophy. Recent projects concern the epistemology
of perception as well as various issues in the foundations of cognitive
science, including modularity, the nature of representation, and the
relationship between psychology and the other sciences. He has written
a book, titled Perception and Basic Beliefs, and is currently
working on multiple realizability and the recent neoreductionist movement
in the philosophy of mind.
