That is common sense. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Bounds of Cognition\u003c\/i\u003e articulates and defends a theory of \"the mark of the cognitive,\" a common sense approach to cognitive science that differentiates between cognitive and non-cognitive processes. Addressing the limits of the embodied mind, the mark of the cognitive is a refreshing alternative approach to \"extended cognition\" whose advocates--including a growing number of leading philosophers and psychologists--argue that cognitive processing is not \"brain bound,\" and the mind extends beyond the boundary of the brain and body. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePutting their theory of the cognitive into practice, the authors analyze and expose some of the fallacies and shortcomings of extended cognition literature. The Bounds of Cognition is a timely and relevant text that exposes the need to develop a more sophisticated theory of cognition while allowing flexibility in exploring the nature of cognition.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFREDERICK ADAMS\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Cognitive Science \u0026amp; Philosophy and Chair of Linguistics and Cognitive Science at the University of Delaware.
