William S. Robinson

Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

Species of mind seeks primarily to establish the credentials of cognitive ethology as an exciting and above all respectable branch of scientific inquiry. Difficulties in achieving the aims of cognitive ethology are not downplayed, but it is argued that they can be overcome sufficiently to sustain an empirical research program. An important subgoal is the promotion of an interdisciplinary approach to the required research.
