Cognitive Canvas – A.K. Mukhopadhyay, 2018
Cognition covers the processes from sensation and perception to generation of will and behavioral response by action. The focus of this article is on this cascading depth of cognition, in tune with the depth of nature. The idea has been developed with a metaphor of canvas having a base, fabrics and embroidery.
Radical Provincialism in the Life Sciences – Chapter 2 from Crimes of Reason – Stephen Braude, 2014
However, my own assessment was that Sheldrake’s staunchest supporters and detractors were both wrong: Sheldrake’s view of formative causation was neither viable nor as radical as it seemed. But it wasn’t crazy either; in fact, Sheldrake’s proposal revealed considerable intelligence, insight, and originality. Nevertheless, it was seriously flawed, and to my surprise I found it to be flawed for the same reasons as the theories Sheldrake was concerned with rejecting.
Memory without a Trace – Chapter 1 from Crimes of Reason – Stephen Braude, 2014
One of the most persistent conceptual errors in philosophy, psychology, and neurophysiology is the attempt to explain memory by means of memory traces (sometimes called “engrams”). The underlying problems are very deep and difficult to dispel, and as a result, trace theories are quite seductive.
