Reviews
'This is an extremely important book. It makes the best possible case one could for restoring Wittgenstein and Ryle to their proper places as leading thinkers on the mind-body problem by demonstrating the relevance of their arguments and philosophical techniques for some of the most hotly debated topics in contemporary cognitive science' S. G. Shanker, York University 'The book is wonderfully clearly written, admirable in its technical command of the issues, and informed throughout by a deep understanding of the philosophical psychology of Ryle and Wittgenstein.... We can only hope that this devastating critique will be read and digested by all those in philosophy, psychology and cognitive science who may yet be spared the dangerous and grandiose illusions exposed in this important book.' Rom Harre, University of Oxford and University of Georgetown 'This highly readable book advances the proposition that 'the' problem of mind and accompanying efforts at a commensurate theory be effectively dis-solved. The authors bring both a sociological eye and a disciplinary agnosticism to their task, as they survey a broad terrain of related debates within philosophy, linguistics and cognitive science. Along the way, they present carefully researched arguments to the effect that language, learning, intelligence and interaction become scientific problems requiring theoretical solution only by being wrenched from the historically and culturally constituted worlds of practical human activity that give rise to and animate them. Restored to those worlds, they argue that each of these areas evidences differences between humans and machines that have mattered to us, and will continue to do so' Lucy Suchman, Xerox Palo Alto Research Centre, 'This is an extremely important book.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
