Giere's (In)Appropriation of Distributed Cognition
Social Epistemology 25 (4):379 - 391 (2011)
| Abstract | Ronald Giere embraces the perspective of distributed cognition to think about cognition in the sciences. I argue that his conception of distributed cognition is flawed in that it bears all the marks of its predecessor; namely, individual cognition. I show what a proper (i.e. non-individual) distributed framework looks like, and highlight what it can and cannot do for the philosophy of science | |||||||||
