520 1 ""Those who ask whether mental processes can extend beyond
the brain and into the world may seem to be asking ẁhere
is my mind?' Mark Rowlands instead replaces questions
about the location of cognition with a process-based
vision of the mind as a complex set of activities
distributed across brain, body, and world. His integrative
and original book demonstrates that the cognitive sciences
already treat mental processes as amalgamations of
disparate neural, bodily, and environmental resources. It
brings a new level of precision to the case for the
extended mind." John Sutton, Macquarie Centre for
Cognitive Science, Macquarie University" ""Mark Rowlands
insightfully draws from resources in both early analytic
philosophy and phenomenology to defend recent conceptions
of embodied and extended cognition. He presents convincing
arguments to show that, at its core, intentionality
involves a transcendental disclosure of the world, and
then remarkably shows that the transcendental is
characteristic of a mind that is an amalgamation of brain,
body, and environment. He thus lays out a brilliant
strategy to defeat all of the neurocentric naysayers with
respect to the extended--or, in Rowland's terms, the
amalgamated--mind." Shaun Gallagher, Professor of
Philosophy and Cognitive Sciences, University of Central
Florida and University of Hertfordshire" ""In the New
Science of the Mind Mark Rowlands sets out an exciting
combination of embodied and extended cognition which he
calls the amalgamated mind. Rowlands convincingly argues
that the new science of the mind will concern itself with
explaining mental processes as amalgamations of neural,
bodily, and environmental processes. This book stakes out
important new territory and is sure to have a major impact
on the future of the field." Richard Menary, The
University of Wollongong".
520 8 "There is a new way of thinking about the mind that does
not locate mental processes exlusively "in the head." Some
think that this expanded conception of the mind will be
the basis of a new science of the mind. In this book,
leading philosopher Mark Rowlands investigates the
conceptual foundations of this new science of the mind."
"Traditional attempts to study the mind are based on the
idea that mental processes--perceiving, remembering,
thinking, reasoning--exist in brains; they are often
described as "software" realized by the "hardware" of the
brain. The new way of thinking about the mind has emerged
from the confluence of various disciplines in cognitive
science ranging from perceptual and developmental
psychology to robotics. It emphasizes the ways in which
mental processes are embodied (made up partly of
extraneural bodily structures and processes), embedded
(designed to function in tandem with the environment),
enacted (constituted in part by action), and extended
(located in the environment)." "The new way of thinking
about the mind, Rowlands writes, is actually an old way of
thinking that has taken on new form. Rowlands describes a
conception of mind that had its clearest expression in
phenomenology--in the work of Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre,
and Merleau-Ponty. He builds on these views, clarifies and
renders consistent the ideas of embodied, embedded,
enacted, and extended mind, and develops a unified
philosophical treatment of the novel conception of the
mind that underlies the new science of the mind."--BOOK
