Download or read book Reclaiming Cognition written by Rafael E. Núñez and published by Imprint Academic. This book was released on 1999 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
