The Philosophy and Science of Predictive Processing Summary

The Philosophy and Science of Predictive Processing by Dr Dina Mendonca (Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Portugal)

This book explores how predictive processing, which argues that our brains are constantly generating and updating hypotheses about our external conditions, sheds new light on the nature of the mind. It shows how it is similar to and expands other theoretical approaches that emphasize the active role of the mind and its dynamic function. Offering a complete guide to the philosophical and empirical implications of predictive processing, contributors bring perspectives from philosophy, neuroscience, and psychology. Together, they explore the many philosophical applications of predictive processing and its exciting potential across mental health, cognitive science, neuroscience, and robotics. Presenting an extensive and balanced overview of the subject, The Philosophy and Science of Predictive Processing is a landmark volume within philosophy of mind.

The Philosophy and Science of Predictive Processing Reviews

This volume highlights one of the key bridges of our time, predictive coding. It brings together different perspectives by leading figures in both fields of neuroscience and philosophy, making it unique and a must-read for everybody interested in bridging the gap of neuroscience and philosophy. * Georg Northoff, Michael Smith Chair in Neurosciences and Mental Health, Institute of Mental Health Research, University of Ottawa, Canada *
Though relative newcomers to the field, predictive processing accounts of mind, cognition, self and psychopathology are already establishing their secure place in the philosophical and scientific landscape. They must be reckoned with, and this fine and timely collection does just that. Drawing together defenders and critics, its chapters ask the crucial questions. Anyone aiming to get on top this exciting intellectual development will want to read the first-rate set of contributions in this outstanding volume. * Daniel D. Hutto, Senior Professor of Philosophical Psychology, University of Wollongong, Australia *
