Predictive Minds: Old Problems and New Challenges

In this collection of essays, Curado and Gouveia have captured an illuminating snapshot into the contemporary debate on the philosophy of predictive processing. The authors draw on a cast of insightful thinkers, philosophers, and scientists—supported by illustrative visual aids and illusions—to develop a diverse range of modern perspectives. In addition to a highly accessible introduction to predictive processing, this book contains invaluable aids to navigating between realist, representationalist, and constructivist approaches to cognitive science. In short, this book offers a valuable opportunity for neuroscientists, psychologists, and philosophers to challenge (and perhaps update) their prior beliefs.
