This collection weitten by leading figures in cognitive science
includes their lively debates with Dartnall about his call for a
new epistemology, an alternative to the standard representational
story in cognitive science. Dartnall aims to show that new
epistemology is already with us in some leading-edge models of
human creativity. Such an epistemology steers a middle road between
the representationism of classical cognitive science and a radical
anti-representationism that denies the existence or importance of
representations.
Dartnall, who debates contributors at each chapter's end,
believes that creativity inheres--not only in big ticket items such
as plays, poems, or sonatas--but in our ability to produce
cognitive content at all, so that representations are the creative
products of our knowledge, rather than its passive carriers.
