Description
This book argues that perception and higher cognition are closer to each other than the Cartesian tradition maintains. The research combines results from cognitive neuroscience, the philosophy of perception and natural language syntax to demonstrate that all systems of cognition draw from a common set of computational and conceptual resources.
