Gualtiero Piccinini’s book discusses the scientific study of cognition, construed broadly to include low-level phenomena such as perception and motor control. The scope is epic, ranging from metaphysics to explanation to neuroscience to history of science. The writing is brisk and clear. At every turn, the book evinces Piccinini’s command of relevant philosophical literature and his knowledge of contemporary science. It is an imposing contribution that all philosophers of mind should read. Piccinini espouses a version of the computational theory of mind (CTM), which holds that many mental proc
