Reviews

From the reviews: Book constitutes a major contribution to our understanding of the mechanisms of knowledge construction . a fine work, a fascinating set of discussions concerning an extremely interesting area. It contributes to the current and lively debate about the nature of cognition and about the role played by symbolic dynamics and epistemic complexity in the development of biological and cognitive activities. Anyone who is interested in functional and neural models concerning knowledge construction will be informed by the wealth of material presented in this volume.
