Cognition is not something done exclusively in the head, but fundamentally something done in the world. Drawing on both evolutionary theory and a detailed examination of the processes involved in perception, memory, thought and language use, Rowlands argues that cognition is, in part, a process whereby creatures manipulate and exploit relevant objects in their environment. It is not simply an internal process of information processing; equally significantly, it is an external process of information processing. This innovative book provides a foundation for an unorthodox but increasingly popular view of the nature of cognition.Cambridge studies in philosophy.Philosophy of mindMind and bodyCognitionExternalism (Philosophy of mind)Philosophy of mind.Mind and body.Cognition.Externalism (Philosophy of mind)128/.2Rowlands Mark715267MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828582603321The body in mind3967999UNINA
