Challenging traditional Cartesian views, the author presents a radical externalist model of cognition, emphasizing the role of environmental interaction in cognitive processes. By integrating evolutionary theory and analyzing perception, memory, thought, and language, he argues that cognition involves manipulating and exploiting objects in one's surroundings. This innovative perspective lays the groundwork for a growing and unconventional understanding of how cognition functions, providing readers with a fresh lens through which to view mental processes.
