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
