Pieces of Mind: The Proper Domain of Psychological Predicates
Oxford, UK: Oxford University Press (2018)
Abstract
Carrie Figdor presents a critical assessment of how psychological terms are used to describe the non-human biological world. She argues against the anthropocentric attitude which takes human cognition as the standard against which non-human capacities are measured, and offers an alternative basis for naturalistic explanation of the mind.Author's Profile
