Beschreibung

Paperback octavo, very good plus condition. 284 pp. Traditional cognitive science (cognitivism) is Cartesian in the sense that it takes as fundamental the distinction between the mind and the world. This leads to the claim that cognition is representational and best explained by classical AI and computational theory. The authors in this volume develop a critique of cognitivism and introduce an alternative approach - which owes more to evolutionary biology, embodied robotics, phenomenology and dynamical systems.

Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

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.
