Recenzii

”Provocative and imaginative, the first volume in the VIBS’ Special Series in Cognitive Science is a critique of the traditional theoretical apparatus of the discipline. In The Dissolution of Mind, neuroscientist Oscar Vilarroya undertakes the ambitious project of reformulating the traditional notions of ‘concept,’ ‘thought,’ ‘communication,’ ‘representation,’ ‘language’ and eventually ‘mind.’” in: Metapsychology, May 2003
