"For too long, the assumptions that the mind is identical with the brain and that the brain is essentially an information processor have dominated psychology. This brilliant book challenges this dominant paradigm and, more importantly, suggests how we might shift from an intellectually bankrupt cognitivism towards an understanding of the mind that will reinstate the whole person in the real world at the heart of psychology. It should be read by anyone who has a serious interest in the future of either psychology or the philosophy of mind."

"A rollicking survey of the 'second wave' of cognitive science, with stimulating ideas for a new psychology relating neuroscience, mental life, and social action. With uncompromising integrity, these scientists and philosophers portray the pluralistic, complex landscape of mental life that will guide 21st century cognitive science."
