"268","Review of Varela et al. & Edelman","Two books published within months of each other, each critical of the reigning family of working assumptions known as cognitive science, each calling for a more biological vision of the mind and even sharing a slogan: we must see the mind as \"embodied\". Is this merely a striking coincidence or perhaps a case of convergent evolution of scientific ideas? There are further striking similarities. Francisco Varela, the principle author of The Embodied Mind, is an immunologist-turned-neuroscientist, and so is Gerald Edelman, author of Bright Air, Brilliant Fire. Both books call for a biological counter-revolution to succeed the cognitive revolution, but neither are attracted to the even more radically revolutionary \"quantum gravity\" speculations of Roger Penrose.","http://cogprints.org/268/","Dennett, Daniel C","UNSPECIFIED","       <span class=\"person_name\">Dennett, Daniel C</span>     (1992)  <a href=\"http://cogprints.org/268/\"><em>Review of Varela et al. &amp; Edelman.</em></a>       [Newspaper/Magazine Article]           ","","1992-06"
