Abstract:
In this book, Arbib offers a stimulating, speculative discussion of cognitive science and its relation to larger philosophical and social issues. Arbib proposes a theory of mental schemas to explain how the individual brain represents the world around it. He builds on Piaget's studies of how children learn and on his own work in brain theory and artificial intelligence to show how the concept of schemas can be used to link cognitive science to the study of persons in society.
