Reclaiming Cognition:
Nunez, R. & Freeman, W.J. (eds.) |
"A notable collection of essays that will give much pleasure to those
who have been missing the living body" and its actions and reactions
"in contemporary cognitive and neural studies; a must read for those who
haven't."
- Antonio Damasio
"This collection is a valuable contribution to the elaboration and
application of an understanding of mind and brain as situated and
embodied. As such, it is timely and important. Although it is unlikely
anyone will agree with all the papers, together they pose a challenge
every cognitve scientist, neuroscientist and philosopher has to face."
- Hubert Dreyfus
"This book brings together a wide variety of contributions to the search
for a science of the mind that is capable of describing and explaining
the bewildering diversity of mental phenomena. The dead hand of
'cognitivism' is finally being lifted, allowing us to see the mind as a
biological and cultural entity rather than a disembodied symbol
processor inspired by the mathematical formalisms that underpin computer
science."
- Horst Hendricks-Jansen
"Views of the mind as essentially embodied and embedded in its
environment have recently made powerful advances in understanding
perception and action. This timely and richly interdisciplinary
collection of essays, by innovative thinkers, displays the current
exuberance of theoretical alternatives to the computational mainstream."
- Susan Hurley
