为了进一步加强学科建设，提高科学研究和创新能力，加快建设区域特色鲜明的高水平研究型大学，我校于2008年5月28日批准成立“认知与分析哲学研究中心”。认知科学是20世纪70年代中期兴起的、旨在研究心智工作机制的交叉性和综合性学科，哲学是认知科学的坚实基础，认知科学包含着深刻的本体论、认识论和方法论，其产生与发展始终与心灵哲学及英美分析哲学传统密不可分。认知哲学的研究在国际上方兴未艾，可以肯定，认知哲学将为哲学研究提供新的研究领域，将成为21世纪哲学开采的富矿。
    认知与分析哲学研究中心依托山西大学哲学社会学学院，以研究创新为理念，致力于认知科学哲学与英美分析哲学的研究。中心研究力量雄厚，主任为魏屹东教授，专职研究人员13人，多为博士或在读博士，其中教授副教授4人，其余都是颇具科研能力的中青年教师；兼职研究人员3名，其中郭贵春教授为国内科学哲学和分析哲学领域卓有建树的知名学者。中心成立之初就已经累积了一定的相关研究成果，具有良好的研究基础，中心的成立进一步为研究和创新提供了坚实的平台。

(In order to evolve into a local exemplary research-oriented university, strengthen the discipline construction further, and to enhance the scientific research and innovation capability, The Research Center for Cognitive and Analytic Philosophy was founded in May 28, 2008.
