About the Series
The time is right to take cognitive science in new directions. The old
paradigm of cognition as representation, as subjective capture of worldly
information, is being challenged by calls to see cognition as the direction
of the action of an organism in its world. We already see such new
directions in the “embodied-embedded mind” school, as well as in the nascent
Deleuzean-inspired “neo-materialist” school, movements which incorporate and
critique phenomenology and dynamic systems theory.
In response to these movements, and in hopes of amplifying them and others,
we propose a wholly new, dedicated, publishing forum for interdisciplinary
philosophical work in cognitive science that embraces the new directions of
phenomenology and neo-materialism.
We aim to publish four types of books:
(a) Monographs: cutting-edge practical / theoretical work, or historical
work.
(b) Themed collections addressing new directions in philosophy and
cognitive science.
(c) Essay collections on major figures as they relate to new directions
in cognitive science.
(d) Translations of noteworthy books, of either contemporary or
"genealogical" value.
