Abstract:

These ten lectures articulate a distinctive vision of the structure
and workings of the human mind, drawing from research on embodied
cognition as well as from historically more entrenched approaches to
the study of human thought. On the author’s view, multifarious
materials co-contribute to the production of virtually all forms of
human behavior, rendering implausible the idea that human action is
best explained by processes taking place in an autonomous mental arena
– those in the conscious mind or occurring at the so-called personal
level. Rather, human behavior issues from a widely varied, though
nevertheless integrated, collection of states and mechanisms, the
integrated nature of which is determined by a form of clustering in
the components’ contributions to the production of intelligent
behavior. This package of resources, the cognitive system, is the
human self. Among its elements, the cognitive system includes a vast
number of representations, many subsets of which share their content.
On the author’s view, redundancy of content itself constitutes an
important explanatory quantity; the greater the extent of
content-redundancy among representations that co-contribute to the
production of an instance of behavior, the more fluid the behavior. In
the course of developing and applying these views, the author
addresses questions about the content of mental representations,
extended cognition, the value of knowledge, and group minds.
