Overview
In this book, Mark Rowlands challenges the Cartesian view of the mind as a self-contained monadic entity, and offers in its place a radical externalist or environmentalist model of cognitive processes.

This innovative book provides a foundation for an unorthodox but increasingly popular view of the nature of cognition.
