Rezensionen

'In this engaging and accessible book, Ryan McVeigh performs the great service of systematically connecting current cognitive science to the largely buried and forgotten cognitive thinking of the classical sociologists, and in doing so returns cognition to its central place in the sociological tradition.' - Stephen Turner, Distinguished University Professor, University of South Florida, USA
