About this title

Synopsis

Reflects received view in empirical science that there is something we can call 'reality' for an agent, and that agents use 'representations' in their interactions with the environment

Examines what capacities can be plausibly computed and discusses the most promising approaches

Looks for a common link between reality-constructing agents, such as humans, and other living organisms

From the Back Cover

This book enriches our views on representation and deepens our understanding of its different aspects. It arises out of several years of dialog between the editors and the authors, an interdisciplinary team of highly experienced researchers, and it reflects the best contemporary view of representation and reality in humans, other living beings, and intelligent machines.

Structured into parts on the cognitive, computational, natural sciences, philosophical, logical, and machine perspectives, a theme of the field and the book is building and presenting networks, and the editors hope that the contributed chapters will spur understanding and collaboration between researchers in domains such as computer science, philosophy, logic, systems theory, engineering, psychology, sociology, anthropology, neuroscience, linguistics, and synthetic biology.
