Creations of the Mind presents sixteen original essays by theorists
from a wide variety of disciplines who have a shared interest in
the nature of artifacts and their implications for the human mind.
All the papers are written specially for this volume, and they
cover a broad range of topics concerned with the metaphysics of
artifacts, our concepts of artifacts and the categories that they
represent, the emergence of an understanding of artifacts in
infants' cognitive development, as well as the evolution of
artifacts and the use of tools by non-human animals. This volume
will be a fascinating resource for philosophers, cognitive
scientists, and psychologists, and the starting point for future
research in the study of artifacts and their role in human
understanding, development, and behaviour. Contributors: John R.
