Zusatztext Though relative newcomers to the field, predictive processing accounts of mind, cognition, self and psychopathology are already establishing their secure place in the philosophical and scientific landscape. They must be reckoned with, and this fine and timely collection does just that. Drawing together defenders and critics, its chapters ask the crucial questions. Anyone aiming to get on top this exciting intellectual development will want to read the first-rate set of contributions in this outstanding volume. Informationen zum Autor Dina Mendonça is a Researcher at the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal. Manuel Curado is a Professor at the University of Minho, Portugal. Steven S. Gouveia is Research Fellow and Principal Investigator at the Mind, Language and Action Group of the Institute of Philosophy, University of Porto, Portugal. He is also Honorary Professor in the Faculty of Medicine, Andrés Bello University, Chile, and Visiting Fellow at the Robotics Lab, University of Palermo, Italy. Klappentext This book explores how predictive processing, which argues that our brains are constantly generating and updating hypotheses about our external conditions, sheds new light on the nature of the mind. It shows how it is similar to and expands other theoretical approaches that emphasize the active role of the mind and its dynamic function. Offering a complete guide to the philosophical and empirical implications of predictive processing, contributors bring perspectives from philosophy, neuroscience, and psychology. Together, they explore the many philosophical applications of predictive processing and its exciting potential across mental health, cognitive science, neuroscience, and robotics. Presenting an extensive and balanced overview of the subject, The Philosophy and Science of Predictive Processingis a landmark volume within philosophy of mind.
