Keeping the World in Mind Anne Jaap Jacobson
Mental Representations and the Sciences of the Mind
New Directions in Philosophy and Cognitive Science
This series brings together work that takes cognitive science in new directions. Hitherto, philosophical reflection on cognitive science – or perhaps better, philosophical contribution to the interdisciplinary field that is cognitive science – has for the most part come from philosophers with a commitment to a representationalist model of the mind. However, as cognitive science continues to make advances, especially in its neuroscience and robotics aspects, there is growing discontent with the representationalism of traditional philosophical interpretations of cognition. Cognitive scientists and philosophers have turned to a variety of sources – phenomenology and dynamic systems theory foremost among them to date – to rethink cognition as the direction of the action of an embodied and affectively attuned organism embedded in its social world, a stance that sees representation as only one tool of cognition, and a derived one at that. To foster this growing interest in rethinking traditional philosophical notions of cognition – using phenomenology, dynamic systems theory, and perhaps other approaches yet to be identified – we dedicate this series to ‘New Directions in Philosophy and Cognitive Science.’ Titles include: Robyn Bluhm, Anne Jaap Jacobson and Heidi Maibom (editors) NEUROFEMINISM Issues at the Intersection of Feminist Theory and Cognitive Jesse Butler RETHINKING INTROSPECTION A Pluralist Approach to the First-Person Perspective Anne Jaap Jacobson KEEPING THE WORLD IN MIND Mental Representations and the Sciences of the Mind Julian Kiverstein and Michael Wheeler (editors) HEIDEGGER AND COGNITIVE SCIENCE Michelle Maiese EMBODIMENT, EMOTION, AND COGNITION Richard Menary COGNITIVE INTEGRATION Mind and Cognition Unbounded Zdravko Radman (editor) KNOWING WITHOUT THINKING Mind, Action, Cognition and the Phenomenon of the Background
