Beyond Concepts: Unicepts, Language, and Natural Information
Oxford, United Kingdom: Oxford University Press (2017)
Abstract
Ruth Garrett Millikan presents a strikingly original account of how we get to grips with the world in thought. Her question is Kant's 'How is knowledge possible?', answered from a contemporary naturalist standpoint. We begin with an understanding of what the world is like prior to cognition, then develop a theory of cognition within that world.Author's Profile
