''Boundaries of the Mind'' is a thorough treatment of the role and conceptualization of the individual in psychology, by author Robert A. Wilson, a professor in the Department of Philosophy at the University of Alberta. ==Structure== It is the first book in a planned three-volume set, entitled ''The Individual in the Fragile Sciences''. The second volume examines the individual in biological sciences and the third, the individual's role in social sciences. The book is divided into four parts: *Part I motivates the study of the individual in psychology, provides a framework for contrasting nativist and empiricist views and provides a history of psychology that traces its gradual independence from physiology and philosophy to a subject in its own right. *Part II spans topics for which Wilson is already well-known: the individualism-externalism debate, narrow and wide content, and the metaphysics of realization. *Part III explores the consequences of this radical form of externalism from the perspective of various research programs in psychology: memory, development, and theory of mind. Wilson applies his externalist framework to stake out his own conception of consciousness, the TESEE acronym: Temporally Extended, Scaffolded, Embodied, Embedded. *Part IV closes the book with a discussion of the cognitive metaphor in the biological and social sciences. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Boundaries of the Mind」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
