Description
Since its inception some fifty years ago, cognitive science has seen a number of sea changes.
Perhaps the best known is the development of connectionist models of cognition as an alternative to classical, symbol-based approaches.
A more recent - and increasingly influential - trend is that of dynamical-systems-based, ecologically oriented models of the mind.
Researchers suggest that a full understanding of the mind will require systematic study of the dynamics of interaction between mind, body, and world.
Some argue that this new orientation calls for a revolutionary new metaphysics of mind, according to which mental states and processes, and even persons, literally extend into the environment.
This book is a guide to this movement in cognitive science.
Each chapter tackles either a specific area of empirical research or specific sector of the conceptual foundation underlying this research.
