Abstract:
In "Natural Language and Possible Minds: How Language Uncovers the Cognitive
Landscape of Nature" Prakash Mondal attempts to demonstrate that language can
reveal the hidden logical texture of diverse types of mentality in non-humans,
contrary to popular belief. The widely held assumption in mainstream cognitive
science is that language being humanly unique introduces an anthropomorphic
bias in investigations into the nature of other possible minds. This book
turns this around by formulating a lattice of mental structures distilled from
linguistic structures constituting the cognitive building blocks of an
ensemble of biological entities/beings. This turns out to have surprising
consequences for machine cognition as well. Challenging mainstream views, this
book will appeal to cognitive scientists, philosophers of mind, linguists and
also cognitive ethologists.
