Knowing Without Thinking

Mind, Action, Cognition and the Phenomenon of the Background
Herausgegeben:Radman, Z.

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

A volume devoted explicitly to the subtle and multidimensional phenomenon of background knowing that has to be recognized as an important element of the triad mind-body-world. The essays are inspired by seminal works on the topic by Searle and Dreyfus, but also make significant contribution in bringing the discussion beyond the classical confines.
