Reclaiming Cognition: The Primacy of Action, Intention and Emotion

Rating:
Summary: Pioneering
Review: This is a landmark book and is worth reading because it is important. It argues against the popularly accepted view that the human mind is like a computer and puts forward the embodied, emergent and socially influenced perspectives. Once everyone figures out what these words mean there will be a revolution in our ability to understand our minds.

Most of the papers in the book are well written. There are a couple near the end that are poorly written.

Freeman is a pioneer and Nunez is a revolutionary (see his work with Lakoff - "Where Mathematics Comes From.")
