About this title

Synopsis

This text enables readers to understand human intelligence from a variety of standpoints, such as psychology, anthropology, computational science, sociology, and philosophy. Readers will gain a comprehensive understanding of the concept of intelligence and how ideas about it have evolved and are continuing to evolve. Much of the present confusion surrounding the concept of intelligence stems from our having looked at it from these different standpoints without considering how they relate to each other or how they might be combined into a unified view that goes beyond the boundaries of a particular discipline.

From the Back Cover

Metaphors of Mind seeks to help readers understand human intelligence as viewed from a variety of standpoints, such as psychology, anthropology, computational science, sociology, and philosophy.
