Omschrijving
What mediates between sensory input and motor output? What makes it possible to act on what you perceive? Bence Nanay argues that pragmatic representations provide the perceptual guidance for performing actions. They play a key role in our mental lives, and help explain why the majority of our mental processes are very similar to those of animals.
provocative and well-written . . . Between Perception and Action is an interesting attempt to deintellectualize the mind, and it is worth the attention of those interested in a middle ground between antirepresentationlist/enactivist accounts of mental activity and more traditional computational and linguistic positions
The book is an important contribution to philosophical research on the relationship between perception, agency and cognition, and deserves the attention of any theorist working on these issues.
