Exploring the intricate relationship between intelligence and environmental complexity, this book connects the philosophy of mind with broader externalist explanations. It poses critical questions about developing a philosophical theory of the mind based on environmental properties and examines the implications of understanding the internal through external perspectives. The author employs a biological approach to cognition, referencing historical figures like Dewey and Spencer while considering contemporary evolutionary theory. This original work appeals to philosophers, evolutionary biologists, psychologists, and historians alike.
