Georg Theiner
For Descartes, minds were essentially immaterial, non-extended things. Contemporary cognitive science prides itself on having exorcised the Cartesian ghost from the biological machine. This book aims to clarify nature and scope of this thesis, and to defend its central insight that cognition is not confined to boundaries of biological individual.
