For Book Cognition #6<\/strong>, we will read and discuss Andy Clark<\/strong>\u2019s Mindware<\/strong>, one of the most widely referenced and classic introductory texts in cognitive science<\/strong>. We will meet online for four weeks<\/strong> on October 29, November 5, 12, and 19<\/strong>, every Wednesday evening<\/strong> from 20:00 to 22:00<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMindware<\/strong>\u201d is not merely an introduction to cognitive science \u2014 it is a comprehensive exploration of the many ways we can understand the mind, tracing the history of cognitive models and the intersections of contemporary debates. Andy Clark brings together diverse approaches such as artificial intelligence, connectionism, embodied cognition,<\/strong> and dynamic systems theory<\/strong>, offering an integrative view of the field. He reveals how different paradigms about the nature and functioning of the mind have emerged and often come into conflict. Bridging philosophy, psychology, artificial intelligence,<\/strong> and neuroscience<\/strong>, the book invites everyone interested in cognitive science to engage with this rich and far-reaching intellectual journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The moderator of this book club will be Yunus \u015eahin<\/strong>, a Bo\u011fazi\u00e7i University Cognitive Science master\u2019s program<\/strong> graduate who is currently continuing his studies in the Semiotics program at the University of Tartu<\/strong> and is also the co-founder of CogIST<\/strong>. Throughout the sessions, participants will be expected to complete approximately 60\u201370 pages of reading<\/strong> each week, after which the group will engage in discussions evaluating the material through the lenses of theoretical frameworks, contemporary cognitive perspectives,<\/strong> and philosophy of science<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Book Cognition aims to create a discussion space where students, researchers, and enthusiasts from outside the field who are interested in cognitive science can come together around a single book and theme, engaging in intellectual exchange and collective study over several weeks. In this sense, each Kitap Kognisyon event can be thought of as a book club focused on one book. For every session, we will choose a book and hold weekly meetings moderated by a facilitator. These events will be held online on a designated day each week, and we hope they will provide a rewarding and stimulating experience for all participants. Each Book Cognition will span several weeks, during which participants will meet at a fixed time every week to discuss the book in depth.\n\nParticipants are expected to read the assigned chapters before each session.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
