| Description: |
The essays in this book are unified by the thesis that freedom, rationality, consensus, and knowledge depend on thoughts about thoughts, that is, on metamental operations. Metamental operations provide for our optionality, plasticity, and for the evaluation and control of lower-level information. |
| Synopsis: |
The essays in this book, published here as a collection for the first time, are unified by the thesis that freedom, rationality, social consensus, and knowledge depend on thoughts about thoughts, that is, on metamental operations. These provide for our optionality, plasticity, and most of all for the evaluation and control of lower-level information. The collection argues that the human mind is essentially a metamind. |
