The Mind as a Scientific Object
Between brain and culture
AvChristina E. Erneling,David Martel Johnson
Inbunden, Engelska, 2005

Skickas inom 5-8 vardagar
Are all cognitive sciences equal? The contributors of this book argue that the answer is no, because only neurophysiology and cultural psychology are suited to account for the mind's ontology. The papers collected here have been chosen to clarify these alternatives. In particular, because other books have emphasized the neuroscience alternative, this book highlights the cultural solution.
How History Made the Mind
The Cultural Origins of Objective Thinking
AvDavid Martel Johnson

How History Made the Mind, David Martel Johnson argues that what we now think of as "reason" or "objective thinking" is not a natural product of the existence of an enlarged brain or culmination of innate biological tendencies. Rather, it is a way of learning to use the brain that runs counter to the natural characteristics involved in being an animal, a mammal, and a primate. Johnson defends his theory of mind as a cultural artifact against objections, and uses it to question a number of currently fashionable positions in philosophy of mind, known theories of Julian Jaynes, which Johnson argues go too far in the direction of emphasizing the dissimilarities between ancient and modern ways of thinking.
