Reclaiming Cognition: The Primacy of Action, Intention and Emotion

by Walter J. Freeman (Editor), Rafael Núñez (Editor)

Traditional cognitive science is Cartesian in the sense that it takes as fundamental the distinction between the mental and the physical, the mind and the world. This leads to the claim that cognition is representational and best explained using models derived from AI and computational theory. The authors depart radically from this model.
