"Clark's book is an excellent introduction to this new movement in cognitive science. It is clear, wide ranging, well informed, and full of fascinating examples. And, unusually, it manages to be both eminently sensible and highly provocative." --Margaret A. Boden, Nature
Kurzbeschreibung
Brain, body, and world are united in a complex dance of circular
causation and extended computational activity. In Being There, Andy Clark weaves
these several threads into a pleasing whole and goes on to address foundational
questions concerning the new tools and techniques needed to make sense of the
emerging sciences of the embodied mind. Clark brings together ideas and techniques
from robotics, neuroscience, infant psychology, and artificial intelligence. He
addresses a broad range of adaptive behaviors, from cockroach locomotion to the role
of linguistic artifacts in higher-level thought.
