Rowlands, Mark.
The body in mind [electronic resource] : understanding cognitive processes - Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York : Cambridge University Press, 1999. - 1 online resource (x, 270 pages) ; - Cambridge studies in philosophy .
"In this book, Mark Rowlands challenges the Cartesian view of the mind as a self-contained monadic entity, and offers in its place a radical externalist or environmentalist model of cognitive processes. 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."--Jacket.
