Representation, arbitrariness, and the emergence of speech
Nietzsche’s Kind of Philosophy: Finding His Way
Over the course of his distinguished career, Richard Schacht has written on alienation, value theory, and philosophical anthropology; he has analyzed the work of Hegel and coauthored a set of reflections on Richard Wagner with Philip Kitcher. He has also recently completed the gigantic task of editing the two-volume Norton Anthology of Western Philosophy After Kant, and he is the sole editor of the set’s second volume, The Norton Anthology of Wes…
Simply Nietzsche
Quite an appealing book, Peter Kail's Simply Nietzsche introduces Nietzsche's thought by reviewing his published work from BT to EH. Simply Nietzsche is neither a long nor a laborious read. Nor does it invest much time in minutely carved debates about understanding this or that passage or alleged inconsistencies between Nietzsche's various claims. Rather, Simply Nietzsche displays the virtues of a good introduction. In direct and transparent pros…
Dynamicism, radical enactivism, and representational cognitive processes: The case of subitization
The role of representational cognitive processes (RCPs) in theories of cognition remains a source of disagreement in philosophy of mind and cognitive neuroscience. These debates are stoked by arguments that purport to show that RCPs neither receive support from nor support computational theories of cognition, and that dynamicist Embodied, Embedded, Extended (3E) and radical enactivist views of cognition show that RCPs can either be taken out of o…
Hate Speech on Campus: What Public Universities Can and Should Do to Counter Weaponized Intolerance
Nietzsche, Consciousness, and Dynamic Cognitive Neuroscience
This chapter examines how Nietzsche's view of consciousness informs our conception of dynamic cognitive neuroscience. Between 1881 and 1888, Nietzsche experiments with a dynamicist explanation of human physiology, a neurological account of human perceptual capacities, and (with qualifications) an evolutionary account of human cognition. Together, these views imply that cognition reduces to a dynamic network of neural activity. However, Nietzsche'…
Nietzsche’s Dynamic Metapsychology
An analysis and assessment of Nietzsche's metapsychology. Nietzsche is neither a dualist nor a physical reductionist about the mind. Instead, he is best interpreted as thinking that the mind is embodi
Working Memory, Neuroanatomy, and Archaeology
First, I categorize the papers presented in this issue according to a particular scheme: (a) those that support Wynn and Coolidge's hypothesis that enhancement of working memory probably played a significant role in cognitive evolution in the Homo lineage, (b) those that expand understanding of working memory, and (c) those that criticize Wynn and Coolidge's hypothesis. Second, I comment on the papers so categorized, focusing on the explanatory u…

Philosophy of Nietzsche
This important new introduction to Nietzsche's philosophical work provides readers with an excellent framework for understanding the central concerns of his philosophical and cultural writings. It shows how Nietzsche's ideas have had a profound influence on European philosophy and why, in recent years, Nietzsche scholarship has become the battleground for debates between the analytic and continental traditions over philosophical method. The book …
