Paperback. Condition: New. This compilation of cutting-edge philosophical and scientific research comprises a survey of recent neuroscientific research on representational systems in animals and humans. Representational systems provide their owners with useful information about their environment and are shaped by the special informational needs of the organism with respect to its environment. In this volume, the authors address the long-standing dispute about the usefulness of the notion of representation in the study of behavior systems and offer a fresh perspective on representational systems that combines philosophical insights and experimental experience.…

Soft cover. Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Paperback, ix + 242 pages, NOT ex-library. Limited gentle wear, book is clean and bright with unmarked text, free of inscriptions and stamps, firmly bound. Straight spine. -- Cognitive systems in animals, humans, and machines operate through different ways of knowing and interpreting the world - this volume unites philosophical argument and empirical science to clarify how such modes of knowledge can be understood, modeled, and debated. -- The book is structured in two major sections. The first tackles the long-standing dispute between knowing-how and knowing-that, testing whether practical skills reduce to propositional knowledge or represent an irreducible cognitive form. Contributors debate intellectualist approaches alongside alternatives, drawing on linguistic analyses, psychological and neuroscientific evidence, and compelling neuropsychological cases like visual agnosia and optical ataxia. Several chapters advance new frameworks that distinguish theoretical from practical knowledge by mapping sensorimotor, propositional, and image-like representational formats. The second section investigates the explanatory role of representation in cognition. Essays probe whether phenomena such as analog computation, circadian timekeeping, and social gaze detection require representational accounts, and if so, of what type. The collection juxtaposes realist accounts that treat representations as causally embodied in control systems, functional-role conceptions that see them as indispensable explanatory variables, and anti-representational stances proposing pragmatic, action-oriented directives as replacements for traditional representational models. The result is a dialogue, not a textbook: conceptual analysis and empirical case studies are placed in direct conversation to test and refine our understanding of knowledge processes. -- This volume remains distinctive in its rare integration of analytic philosophy, cognitive neuroscience, and philosophy of mind. By combining rigorous argument with case studies across computational, biological, and social domains, it provides a comparative framework that continues to inform contemporary work on embodied cognition, predictive processing, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Its breadth of theoretical positions exposes the unresolved tension between representational and anti-representational strategies, making it both a historical benchmark and a live resource for researchers, advanced students, and practitioners seeking to design experiments, develop cognitive architectures, or ground curricula in the ongoing debates about knowledge and representation.…
