Opis

This volume explores the epistemology of distributed cognition, the idea that groups of people can generate cognitive systems that consist of all participating members. Can distributed cognitive systems generate knowledge in a similar way to individuals? If so, how does this kind of knowledge differ from normal, individual knowledge?

Recenzje

there is plenty in this volume to interest those who are sceptical about virtue reliabilism. Joshua Habgood-Coote, Metascience
